Ubuntu 9.10 codenamed Karmic Koala has been released! Canonical and Ubuntu developers have done their best to give as a better than the previous Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope Linux distribution. Features I’ve tested so far include a new installer, new artwork (themes, icons, wallpapers, login screen), ext4 filesystem, grub2, new software versions (Gnome 2.28.1, Firefox 3.5.3), and the much anticipated Software Center (instant access to thousands of free and open-source applications). This beats the hell out of any package manager I’ve seen before. There’s also many many other improvements, including some much needed bug fixes in Ubuntu 9.10.

If you’ve recently performed upgrades, either […]
