Time to order another bag of nails for Microsoft’s coffin? Perhaps. Today sees the launch of Ubuntu’s latest iteration, 7.10 AKA Gutsy Gibbon. Ubuntu has become increasingly popular of late with boosts from such sources as Dell, who now sell Linux-equipped computers.
The latest version of Ubuntu is packed with new features aimed at strengthening its position as the most popular of Linux flavours. Its graphical environment, Gnome, has been upgraded to offer superior performance (and loads of eye candy). Other improvements and additions include fast user switching, desktop search, better support for video in Firefox and improved security and encryption.
As always, Ubuntu is completely free and can be downloaded immediately. We recommend using the Torrent links, to keep the strain off individual servers. Whether you’re a seasoned user upgrading or a newbie who’s ready to take the plunge: now’s the time! Get it while it’s hot.
