The Lifehacker blog have a couple of posts reviewing the new features in Ubuntu and it’s cousins Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Edubuntu.

They take a screenshot tour of Ubuntu 7.10 through installation and some of it’s new or improved features, such as the now built in visual effects, easier support for multiple monitors and simple printer installation.

This includes the better file manager and desktop search in Kubuntu, faster theme and better default apps in Xubuntu and the collaborative text editor and better add-on installation in Edubuntu. Take a look to see which is better for your needs.

Ubuntu 7.10 Released

After another 6 month development cycle, Ubuntu 7.10 (aka Gutsy Gibbon) has been released. You can read the press release here, or go straight to the downloads. If you are already using Ubuntu, then you’ll need to check out the upgrade instructions.
