Ubuntu GNOME (formerly Ubuntu GNOME Remix) is a mostly pure GNOME desktop experience built from the Ubuntu repositories. Our first (unofficial) release was 12.10 ("Quantal Quetzal"), released in October 2012. See the [[UbuntuGNOME/ReleaseNotes/12.10 | Release Notes]]. As the 12.10 release was our first release, there are still a few minor issues, but we proudly recommend Ubuntu GNOME to anyone interested in using Ubuntu with the best of what GNOME has to offer. The first unofficial release, [[UbuntuGNOME/ReleaseNotes/12.10 | 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal)]], came in October 2012. The first ''official'' release was [[http://ubuntugnome.org/ubuntu-gnome-13-04/ | 13.04 (Raring Ringtail)]].

== Features of 13.04 ==

 * [[apt:libreoffice|LibreOffice]] will be included as the office suite, replacing AbiWord and Gnumeric.

 * [[apt:software-center|Ubuntu Software Center]] and Ubuntu's [[apt:update-manager|Software Updater]] will be available for use instead of GNOME's software application.
