The Ubuntu Certification Website has just got better. We have roll-out improvements to how we list systems and provided a powerful search feature. We want to ensure that you get as quick as possible to the information that you need.
As part of the Certification website, we provide a feedback mechanism through Launchpad Answers. Over the last year, we have seen a trend of questions around:
- Most models are sold with different graphics cards , processors… so which one is the one listed as certified?
- Does the system listed as certified works with a version of Ubuntu that I can download from Ubuntu.com? Or only with the one that the manufacturer sales?
- What release is this model certified for?
To address these questions, we have introduced some changes to the website. We now display what components are included on the certified system in the search results. We’ve also added a icon to indicate if the system is only certified with a vendor image or with the standard Ubuntu image.
The new and simpler search interface eliminates confusion on what data is presented. A small filter box has been added to the website allowing users to select the device type, Ubuntu release and image type that they are interested in.
If you have any comments on the new website design, I would really like to hear from you!
