ubuntu 8.10

Tuesday, 7 October 2008

Ubuntu 8.10 is coming very soon. I have placed a countdown to the left on the sidebar for you convenience. There is a beta for download for those of us who can’t wait the few weeks more. It doesn’t seem to be a huge update, but does include some updated key components, their listed highlights are: GNOME 2.24, X.Org 7.4, Linux kernel 2.6.27, Encrypted private directory, Guest session, Network Manager 0.7, “Last successful boot” recovery entry, Samba 3.2, and couple of others that I have skipped over.

But I wonder if I will even notice a difference…

    I’m particularly looking forward to a Network Manager that doesn’t suck.

    I’m not holding my breath, though.
