Ubuntu 9.10 makes a serious charge toward the enterprise level

,----[ Quote ]
| At the end of this month (October 29th, 
| 2009 to be exact), Ubuntu will be 
| releasing its newest take on the Linux 
| operating system. This time around, it 
| should be obvious (even to the biggest of 
| skeptics) that Ubuntu is making some 
| serious inroads to the business and 
| enterprise scene.

Review: Ubuntu 9.10 Brings Good Karma To Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu 9.10 has a variety of system 
| management tools. Computer Janitor is a 
| utility that helps you find and remove 
| software packages that you might not need 
| anymore and suggests configuration changes 
| that might aid in boosting system 
| performance. System Testing is a utility 
| that tests several components of a system 
| to ensure they are working properly, such 
| as audio, fingerprint readers, peripherals 
| and more.
| 
| Significant changes from Ubuntu 9.04 to 
| 9.10 beta aren't strictly cosmetic ones. 
| Want to add software to Ubuntu 9.10? This 
| release replaces the Add/Remove feature in 
| the Applications menu with the more 
| contemporary Ubuntu Software Center. 
| Ubuntu 9.10 also replaces the Pidgin IM 
| client with the feature-rich Empathy 
| client. This is part of the updated GNOME 
| 2.28 desktop environment.

Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) Beta

,----[ Quote ]
| Another item I have mentioned before -
| Karmic supports several hardware devices
| properly out of the box, which either
| didn't work at all or didn't work
| properly with previous releases. The most
| significant of these are the Atheros
| ath9k wireless adapter (AR9285 in my
| specific case), and the Logitech Audio
| Hub USB Speaker system.

This Is What Awesome Looks Like

,----[ Quote ]
| This is a screenshot of a conversation I
| had today with Rick Spencer, leader of
| the Ubuntu Desktop Team at Canonical.
| Using the Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, we
| are having a video chat using Empathy,
| while also sharing Rickâs desktop, also
| using Empathy, and he was demoing some of
| the work he been doing on Bughugger, a
| bug management tool that he wrote using
| the awesome quickly framework for rapid
| development of applications on Ubuntu.
