Ubuntu Linux Preview Released

Posted by timothy on from the now-has-a-name dept.

psykelus writes "Ubuntu Linux, a Debian-based distro (formerly flying the flag of 'no-name-yet.com') annouced a preview of their first release (Warty Warthog) earlier today. Ubuntu is the most shiny Debian-based distrobution ever, sporting Gnome 2.8 and an extremely streamlined, mostly automatic installation & configuration process." For a limited time, they're also sending out free disks on request.

    I's really like to check out their site, but it's basically unusable due to excessive traffic, it seems. Using http://www.freecache.org/http://ubuntulinux.org (sorry, can't get the link working in the preview) it seems to work so :-)
