Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon" Is Out 755

Posted by kdawson on Thursday October 18, 2007 @09:58AM from the while-it's-hot dept.

Many readers are sending the news that Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon has been released. Download options include mirrors and torrents. Wired has a review based on the release candidate: "Gamers and hardcore media hounds may still feel left out... but we found playing music and watching movies in the new Ubuntu to be every bit as pleasant as it is under OS X or Windows... Wi-Fi, printing, my digital camera and even my iPod all worked immediately after installation — no drivers or other software required... I did have to install additional codecs to get MP3 and Windows Media Audio support."

Hey!

I didn't know that Ubuntu's new logo was a red spiral!

Hardy Heron I believe. Sadly it's so intuitive to shorten it to "hardon" that people probably will.

Isn't "Ubuntu" an ancient word meaning "Can't install Gentoo"?

Windows, presumably. If you're any kind of friend you wouldn't burden them and corrode their soul with Linux.

Honestly, none of those hold a candle to VS 2005 for .NET development.
