I’m pretty sure not a lot of people try to keep updated when it comes to Linux. There for, I decided to create this small post about Linux Ubuntu 9.10.
First of all, Linux Ubuntu bases its version number on years and months. The 9 stands for 2009, and the 10 stands for the 10th month. Which is when they release a new version.
Knowing that, you must’ve come to a point where you realise we’re in the 10th month right now. Which means Ubuntu 9.10 is not too far away – in fact, the beta has already been released!
So, what would be the changes in the upcoming release of Ubuntu? Well, here’s a quote from wikipedia!
“The desktop installation of Ubuntu 9.10 is expected to include, among other programs, GIMP 2.6, GNOME 2.28, Mozilla Firefox 3.5, OpenOffice.org 3.1, and Empathy Instant Messenger instead of Pidgin. The default filesystem will be ext4, and the Ubuntu One client, which interfaces with Canonical’s new online storage system, will be installed by default. It will also debut a new application called the Ubuntu Software Center that will unify package management. Canonical intends for this application to replace Add/Remove Programs (gnome-app-install) in 9.10 and possibly Synaptic, Software Sources, Gdebi and Update Manager in Ubuntu 10.04. Karmic Koala will also include a slideshow during the installation process (through ubiquity-slideshow) that will highlight applications and features in Ubuntu.”
So, make sure you stay tuned at the ubuntu.com website!
