The Ubuntu
team has announced the release of Unbuntu 7.10 “Gutsy Gibbon”. It will be
release Thursday, October 18th 2007.
The desktop highlights are:
Compiz Fusion:
3-D Desktop manager.
Printer Installation: In GNOME, printers are automatically
configured for use as soon as they are connected.
Free flash support with Gnash.
Automated Firefox plug in installation.
I have an old Dell laptop in which I have tried many times
to install Ubuntu. It always works fine until it comes to the point to have
wireless connectivity, which has been sketchy at best. I know that most manufacturers
don’t support Linux natively, but I feel that this is a huge show stopper for
the adaptation of Linux.
