Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon" Is Out

Posted by kdawson on from the while-it's-hot dept.

Many readers are sending the news that Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon has been released. Download options include mirrors and torrents. Wired has a review based on the release candidate: "Gamers and hardcore media hounds may still feel left out... but we found playing music and watching movies in the new Ubuntu to be every bit as pleasant as it is under OS X or Windows... Wi-Fi, printing, my digital camera and even my iPod all worked immediately after installation — no drivers or other software required... I did have to install additional codecs to get MP3 and Windows Media Audio support."

    Hardy Heron I believe. Sadly it's so intuitive to shorten it to "hardon" that people probably will.

    Windows, presumably. If you're any kind of friend you wouldn't burden them and corrode their soul with Linux.
