the.koala.arrives

I've just installed Ubuntu's latest release nicknamed Karmic Koala (9.10) and I still can't wipe the smile off my face. Once again Ubuntu/Canonical has release a shinier more polished version of the popular Linux distro. My main gear is an MSI PR-200 laptop and virtually all of my devices worked without a single tweak (the TV-card might need work). Gnome-do now sports a dock interface and it comes with the latest release of Firefox (so far no Flash issues). If this is an indication of Canonical's dedication to making Ubuntu the best Linux distro then I think they're on the right track. Minor design changes actually enhanced the whole experience. Kudos to Canonical and the Ubuntu community! :)

can't.wait



Karmic Koala Beta is running smoothly on my machine...I do hear a few issues from my friends but no showstopping bugs to far...its fast, well polished and will definitely upgrade to it once its officially released.
