Permalink   



Canonical have just released the beta of the next installment of the popular Linux distro - Ubuntu 9.10 beta “Karmic Koala.”

This new release, silly codename aside, brings with it a whole raft of new features, some visible, others under the hood. Some of the new features include:

* A move to Upstart to handle start-up and shut downs.
* Improved boot experience.
* Jazzed up installer.
* GNOME 2.28 and Linux kernel 2.6.31-11.36.
* ext4 file system used by default.
* GRUB 2 boot loader is default.
* Introduction of the Ubuntu Software Center to replace the Add/Remove app.
