Ubuntu 8.10 - Intrepid Ibex Released
Available from Ubuntu download page, announcement - Ubuntu 8.10 released.
From a users viewpoint, this version offers various new improvements including:
Support for 3G wireless devices and improved Wi-Fi support.
Nautilus, desktop file manager now has tab support.
Encrypted private directories.
guest user mode.
On a more technical side, there is a newer Kernel - version 2.6.27, Gnome 2.24, Xorg 7.4, Updated Samba for Windows networking, Xen virtual machine.
I will be downloading shortly and testing it from the LiveCD, I hope to see improvements with Xorg's auto-configuration (I suffered bugs that required xorg.conf to be manually edited) and that the adobe flash plugin for Firefox behaves better.
Cheers, Nick
