Ubuntu 13.10 vs. Ubuntu 13.04: Reasons to Upgrade
================================================================================
**Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) is scheduled for launch on October 17, but users of the previous operating systems from Canonical are wondering why they should upgrade at all, given the fact that the new one doesn't seem to have too many features.**
![](http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news2/Ubuntu-13-10-vs-Ubuntu-13-04-Reasons-to-Upgrade-389846-2.jpg)
Canonical has been focusing on quality and on improving the existing features rather than making any drastic changes. This meant that the last two versions of Ubuntu didn't have much to show for, at least on the surface.
Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) has been called boring, among other things, but people don't realize that a lot of work is put behind every release of Ubuntu, even if it's not accompanied by any major visual changes.
So, why should you upgrade to Ubuntu 13.10 if there won't be any noticeable changes for the average user? Although it might seem that almost nothing has changed, the truth is that a lot of things have been upgraded, and that's always a good thing (most of the time).
The most important is, of course, the new Linux kernel 3.11.x, which is now the latest stable version available at the time of the launch. It comes with support for more devices and hardware components, better power management, and a ton of other improvements.
Then there is the upgrade for GNOME. Canonical may sport the Unity desktop environment, but they still use a lot of GNOME packages. Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) now comes with applications from the 3.8 branch, which is excellent news, especially for the Ubuntu GNOME flavor.
The Smart Scopes are also a big improvement over the former Lens feature. They are a lot better integrated and provide more to-the-point answers.
The security settings have been overhauled and users now have a lot more control over the traffic made by the operating system. It's possible to stop any communications between your PC or laptop and Canonical servers.
Ubuntu 13.10 is also a cornerstone for the package format. Until now, all the apps available for the Ubuntu came in a deb format, but the user had to have the dependencies installed or they had to do it separately.
With the new Click format, all the dependencies are now available from the package itself, which in theory means that you won't find any software incompatible with your distribution, if the developers use the Ubuntu SDK.
Last but not least, Unity has also received a multitude of improvements and should work much better than in any of the previous versions of Ubuntu.
If all these reasons are not enough to make you upgrade, then you should wait for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, but there is no guarantee that it's not going to “look” largely the same like Ubuntu 13.10.

Ubuntu 13.10 vs. Ubuntu 13.04: Reasons to Upgrade
================================================================================
**Ubuntu 13.10(Saucy Salamander) 于8月17日发布但是来自之前Canonical操作系统的用户就有疑问了新的版本似乎并没有添加多
少新的特性,有鉴于此,为什么他们要更新呢。
Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail)相较而言令人乏味但是人们并没有意识到Ubuntu每一次发布的背后都意味着需要完成大
量的工作,即使初看起来没有太大的变动。
那么,对于普通用户来说如果新的版本并没有显著的变更,为什么还要升级到 Ubuntu 13.10呢?事实上,初看起来似乎几乎没什
么变化,然而许多东西已经升级改善,这就很好啊(多数情况下是这样)。
当然最重要的一点发布新的linux内核3.11.x是目前为止最新的稳定版本。新内核版本支持更多的设备和硬件组件更好的
电源管理性能,还有很多很多其他方面的改善。
GNOME 也可以升级了。Canonical 支持 Unity 桌面环境但是任然使用许多GNOME的包。Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) 自带
有来自3.8 分支的应用,这些应用都非常棒,对偏好Ubuntu GNOME的用户来说尤其如此。
相对于之前的Lens 特色Smart Scopes仍然有大的改善更好的集成并且提供更多的定向解答。
安全性设置全面检修现在用户可以对系统产生的流量有更多控制权。用户可以停止自己的PC或者laptop和Canonical服务器之间
的通信。
Ubuntu 13.10 也为软件包格式奠定了基石。迄今所有Ubuntu应用都是以deb格式提供的。不过用户需要事先安装相关依赖项
或者用户选择自己单独安装。
使用新的点选模式, 所有的依赖项都可以同多包本身获得,这就意味着, 只要应用开发者使用的是ubuntu SDK, 用户就不会再碰到
任何与当前使用版本不兼容的软件包。
最后Unity得以大量改善理应比任何以前的ubun版本工作得更出色。
如果这些缘由仍然不足以说服你升级ubuntu那就只有等待Ubuntu 14.04 LTS的发行了。不过不保证新的版本会看起来跟Ubuntu
13.10有多么大的不同。
