All you alternative OS types will be happy to know that
Ubuntu 7.10 is now out.
Anyone interested in trying Ubuntu should really
give it a try.
Major new additions include 3D desktop effects, desktop search, the ability to
write to NTFS partitions, improved multi-monitor support, better support for
devices with "non-free" drivers, automatic printer configuration, and a
graphical configuration tool for X that allows users to change graphics drivers
and adjust monitor video/settings without having to open a terminal window or
manually edit configuration files. Ubuntu Linux 7.10 also includes new features
like fast user switching, a plugin finder wizard for Firefox, and lower system
power consumption thanks to an updated version of the Linux kernel.
