Ubuntu 7.10 “Gutsy Gibbon” Released

Ubuntu 7.10

I’ve been using 7.10 since the fifth alpha release, and it’s really great – a big improvement over Feisty in some areas. The new display manager is alright, but I hope that it is greatly improved for the next release – it’s a little sparse on options at the moment. The new version of Gnome is great too – some nice improvements there (like being able to drag from File Roller to Nautilus).

Here’s the announcement:
“The Ubuntu team is proud to announce version 7.10 of the Ubuntu family of
distributions.

Ubuntu is a full-featured Linux distribution for desktops, laptops, and
servers, with a fast and easy install and regular releases. A
tightly-integrated selection of excellent applications is included, and
an incredible variety of add-on software is just a few clicks away.”
