Intrepid Ibex lays claim to the Black Tower
,----[ Quote ]
| After about a week of heavy use, I find I’m liking Ubuntu 8.10 — with its
| GNOME 2.24 desktop environment and X.Org 7.4 X Window System — more and more
| with each passing day.
|
| At this point I can safely say Ubuntu 8.10 is the best-performing Linux
| distribution I’ve ever used — from the perspective of functionality,
| usability, and aesthetics. And, much to my surprise, I’m really liking GNOME!

Ubuntu 8.10 - All Hail new Network Manager
,----[ Quote ]
| Canonical, the developers behind Ubuntu Linux have release Intrepid Ibex, the
| successor to last spring's Hardy Heron release. Ibex isn't a long-term
| support release - which might put off some large organizations - but for
| Ubuntu desktop fans, version 8.10 makes a worthwhile upgrade.
|
| [...]
|
| The slew of upgraded apps and packages always makes new releases tempting,
| but for us it was NetworkManager and GNOME's tabbed browser windows that
| sealed the deal.

Ubuntu 8.10 Shows Linux OS Is Now Mature, Preludes Mobile Platform
,----[ Quote ]
| Canonical released Ubuntu 8.10 (or Intrepid Ibex to stick to its project
| codename) and it is not hard to see that the leading Linux distribution is
| now evolving into a fully fledged contender to MacOSX and Windows Vista.
|
| The new version of the OS - build using v2.6.27 of the Linux Kernel and Gnome
| 2.24 - can be freely downloaded from dozens of file servers worldwide and is
| a major milestone both for the client and desktop versions.
