Ubuntu Linux 7.10 Released


Last October 18, Canonical Ltd. - the commercial sponsor of Ubuntu - just announced that the latest Ubuntu Linux 7.10 codenamed Gutsy Gibbon is already available for free download. According to the press release, "Ubuntu 7.10 Desktop Edition adds an enhanced user interface, improved hardware support, multiple monitor support and integrated desktop search" as well as "bringing together the best open source and free software available in a stable, robust environment that 'just works'."

This is a great news to all Linux users out there, just recently Canonical Ltd. released Ubuntu 7.04 codenamed Feisty Fawn, and in keeping true to their bi-annual release you can download the latest version of Ubuntu here. I personally had fun ordering 5 Ubuntu 7.04 cds which I promptly gave to some of my officemates, who like me, have been using Linux for quite sometime.

I highly recommend everyone who are open source enthusiast, Linux users, or just brave souls to give Ubuntu 7.10 a spin and see the benefits - first hand - of using Linux.

I've been thinking of migrating to Ubuntu for a while now, but I don't know, it's unknown territory for me. How was your experience using it?

I had good experience doing it, but I hit a snag with my Broadcom wireless chip. I couldn't connect to my router even with NDIS wrapper. And that was a deal breaker for me. One more thing, Feisty doesn't feel snappy (GUI-wise), judging from reviews, it may changed with Gutsy.
