Shuttleworth Announces Karmic Koala

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Friday February 20, 2009 @08:02AM from the make-the-bad-man-stop dept.

An anonymous reader writes to mention that Mark Shuttleworth has announced the next release in the horribly alliterative Ubuntu family, "Karmic Koala." The new version hopes to include a newer, shinier, faster startup, better small screen support, a spruced-up desktop look (no more brown), and many minor tweaks and updates. "A newborn Koala spends about six months in the family before it heads off into the wild alone. Sounds about perfect for an Ubuntu release plan! I'm looking forward to seeing many of you in Barcelona, and before that, at a Jaunty release party. Till then, cheers."

Am I the only one who likes the brown color scheme?
I find that it's easy on the eyes without being outright drab, but maybe that's just me.

  I've got sick on blue from Windows and OS X, Ubuntu's theme was liberating when I first set eyes on in and until the Darkroom theme came along I never really felt the need to change it.
