"While this release isn't perfect, it's very, very good. I've tried a lot of Linux distributions over the years, and Ubuntu is definitely one of the best. If you're already using Ubuntu, the new release is worth the upgrade. If you haven't tried Ubuntu yet, the Breezy release would be a good time to check in and see what all the fuss is about. It's one of the easiest Linux distros to install, and should serve newbies and Linux gurus well."

The simple and logical method for ensuring links are legible is to make them meaningful when indexed. Ie, if I were to make an index of the links in the article up there, they'd look like this:
* Thom Holwerda
* ankitmalik
* one of the best
* Ubuntu
The first two, and the last, make sense. Obviously Thom Holwerda is a link to email the guy or to a page about him. The second link is obscure because the nickname is obscure; not much to be done. The fourth is obviously a link to Ubuntu; probably ubuntu.com. I can tell these without hovering them and checking my status bar. However, what is the third one? "one of the best"? I assume it's the review, because by process of elimination, it must be. But it's not clear.
Wouldn't it be more sensible to have the word "review" in that link? Like "review of Breezy" or something? Even making the title, where it says "Review: Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy Badger" clickable would be a good option.
Still, seems like people are overreacting a bit, eh?

Ok, so it was under "one of the best"... Great!
Could the people at osnews please, please use a convention for their links, like "link".
We would not need to hunt down the links in the post to find the subject of the post.
