Default [BBC] Ubuntu readies the Karmic Koala
Quote:
Ubuntu's Chris Kenyon gives BBC Radio 5-Live's Gary Parkinson a preview of Karmic Koala.

What do French gendarmes, Andalucian school children, Wikipedia and San Francisco International airport have in common?

It is not the set up for a tortuous pun. Instead all of them are big users of the free Ubuntu operating system.
Quote:
On 29 October, version 9.10 of Ubuntu is released. All versions of the operating system have an alternative alliterative appellation. Ubuntu 9.10 is known as Karmic Koala.

The launch comes in the wake of Microsoft's fanfare around Windows 7 - the latest incarnation of its flagship operating system.

Yes, there are a lot of improvements:
  • The most noticeable is the fast boot up screen.
  • Integration of Ubuntu One, sort of like the Apple cloud storage with free 2GB storage space.
  • Ext4 filesystem, a real speed boost here since ext3!
  • VOIP communication with Google Gmail Audio/Video and other XMPP based networks like Facebook, Livejournal, Jabber.

Here's more info.

This is the release with X-FI support built into the kernel. I've been too busy to dl and test the RC so I'll just wait for the final release.

Definately this for me


Though, if I could get Windows 7 to look like

THIS:

I'd dual boot with it.
