Latest alpha release of the Linux distribution shows off some major enhancements planned for the launch in October
On Thursday, Canonical plans to release "Gutsy Gibbon," the Ubuntu Linux version 7.10 that the company hopes will lay the foundation for a serious push into the server and other markets in six months.
Canonical has announced the release of Gutsy Gibbon, version 7.10 of its Ubuntu Linux operating system.
Ubuntu Developer Jono Bacon posted news of the new version on a mailing list and his blog on Wednesday in the US. Hardy Heron will be the second of Canonical's Linux products to feature long-term support.
Canonical on Thursday released version 7.04 of Ubuntu Linux, nicknamed Feisty Fawn, but the company's Web site was unable to keep up with the demand for the software.
Ubuntu 7.10 was released on 18 October. Here's a screenshot gallery showing the popular desktop Linux distribution in action.
Hardy Heron is an incremental set of advances on earlier versions, but all the advances are in the right direction. Unfortunately, a known and unfixed bug means we can't currently recommend it for enterprise use.
