Well its official. The latest Ubuntu distro, 7.10, is now out and ready to download. As a user of the last 3 distros, I would have to say this is the best ever. There are a few things that really stand out for me in this latest version. There is much better wireless support with this distro, including all you Dell Broadcom users. Yea! The drivers for graphics cards are much more intellegent then the previous version, most cards are detected upon download and are usable right away. Ever heard of Beryl Emerald or Compiz? If you have you know how many hours of coding it can take to get that eye candy working right. Not anymore. Ubuntu 7.10 comes with Compiz Fusion, much easier to use and infact, more robust. I barley had to code anything to get it to work. The only thing I recommend is that you have XGL graphics enabled and running. Compiz will not work if you do not.
Whats the buzz about with Compiz? Check out the link below:

This version overall is going to give Vista a run for its money. Visually it kicks Vista's ass and its much more user friendly upon install and use. If you were thinking about trying Linux before but where intimated or nervous, give Ubunutu 7.10 Gusty Gibbon a try. I think youll be pleasantly surprised.
Wanna try it out? Order the Free CD or Download it here:
