Good (Linux) Things on the Horizon
,----[ Quote ]
| We seem to be in a particularly good period for Linux at the moment. We've
| recently gotten the Mandriva 2009.0 and Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex releases,
| and both of them seem to be very good. There will be a number of new releases
| coming in the next few weeks, as well:
|
| - Fedora 10 (Cambridge) is due next week, on November 25th. I have been
| running the Preview Release for several weeks, and it installs and works
| without problem on both of my laptops.
|
| [...]
|
| - Debian "lenny", their next major release, looks like it is getting pretty
| close to completion. They are much more conservative at Debian about release
| dates, so there is no specific date for this release yet.
|
| - SimplyMEPIS 8.0 Beta5 [...]

Exciting Features For Ubuntu 9.04
,----[ Quote ]
| If all goes according to plan, the first alpha release for Ubuntu 9.04 (the
| Jaunty Jackalope) will be released tomorrow. It's not even been one month
| since the release of Ubuntu 8.10, but this first alpha release will show
| early signs of what we can expect to see in this next Canonical-sponsored
| release -- albeit many of the features are still in planning. In this article
| we will provide a glimpse at what Ubuntu 9.04 should hold in store to
| captivate Linux desktop users.

Ubuntu 9.04 “Jaunty Jackalope” Mock-up Designs
,----[ Quote ]
| The next Ubuntu release codenamed "Jaunty Jackalope" won't arrive until April
| of next year, but some people are already creating mock-ups of its desktop
| theme. Though there is no plan of a theme redesign for this next version, I
| know some of you, especially those who are disappointed with the Intrepid
| Ibex theme, are still hoping to see a completely refurbished Ubuntu look.
