The Ubuntu Linux distribution has received a major update today. The
new version, Ubuntu 9.10, will introduce several significant new
features and will deliver the latest version of the GNOME desktop
environment and other applications.
This is the eleventh release of Ubuntu since the project's inception five years ago
.
The distribution has achieved an unprecedented level of popularity in
the Linux desktop ecosystem and has attracted a considerable audience.
Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, touts the new release as its best
yet and says that the latest improvements will take the Ubuntu user
experience to the next level.
Ubuntu 9.10, codenamed Karmic Koala, is the first release to include
Ubuntu One, Canonical's new Web synchronization service. We first looked
at Ubuntu One earlier this year during the beta testing stage. The
service has gained several new features, including support for
synchronizing contacts from the Evolution mail application and notes
from Tomboy. Users can activate the Ubuntu One service by launching it
from the Applications menu in the GNOME panel.
The new version of Ubuntu also offers an improved startup experience with new artwork and significantly improved boot performance
. There are minor usability improvements throughout the entire distribution thanks to the Papercuts project
,
an initiative launched by Canonical to address user interface
weaknesses in GNOME and other upstream projects. Ubuntu 9.10 has a new
framework for programmers called Quickly
that will automatically generate code templates to help get application development up and running faster.
GNOME 2.28
,
the latest version of the GNOME desktop environment, brings some nice
enhancements to Ubuntu 9.10. This is the first version of Ubuntu to
include GNOME's Empathy instant messaging client and overhauled audio
preferences tool. Empathy has support for voice and video chat, Adium
themes, and a number of other features.
Other important upstream software shipped with Ubuntu 9.10 includes version 2.6.31 of the Linux kernel and Firefox 3.5
, which adds new features like private browsing mode and support for the HTML 5 video element.
"Ubuntu 9.10 gives users more reasons than ever to seriously
consider Linux at a time when many are thinking again about their
operating system options. We are delivering a platform for users
interested in an easy-to-use, great-looking, web-friendly operating
system," said Canonical COO Jane Silber in a statement. "A faster, more
beautiful boot and login sequence, file and contact synchronisation
through online services and great experiences on the most popular
notebook, desktop and netbook models continue to drive Ubuntu into the
mainstream of computing choices."
The Ubuntu development community has also released updated versions
of the Ubuntu server and netbook editions along with a number of other
variants such as KDE-based Kubuntu. For more details, check out the feature tour
and official release notes
. Users can download the new version
from the Ubuntu website. Watch for our detailed review next week.
