Ubuntu Linux 7.10, aka: Gutsy Gibbon, is officially available as of right now – right this very second. My plan is to upgrade my Kubuntu 7.04 desktop to Kubuntu 7.10 (because I like KDE more than Gnome) tonight.
A few things I’m interested in the new release are:
- The upgrade process from 7.04 (aka: Feisty Fawn) to 7.10 (aka: Gusty Gibbon)
- Dolphin file manager
- Compiz – I know the regular Ubuntu distro has it but is it even included with the Kubutnu?
- Strigi Desktop Search
I see that Kubuntu includes KDE 3.5.8 and that’s okay, but I’ll be more interested in KDE 4.0 when it’s out of beta. KDE 4.0, I predict, will be the only desktop that can give Mac OS X Leopard a run for its money – Vista is likely out of the running.
