Intrepid Ibex

Today is another great day for freedom lovers. Ubuntu has released it's version 8.10 code named as Intrepid Ibex. I just couldn't wait , so I upgraded the release candidate yesterday itself. As usual it brought me the latest kernel, Xorg etc.. etc.. , just everything is latest version.
I like the wallpaper, here is the screen shot.



Some of the new features like youtube plugin in Movie player, Tabbed file browser and Switching guest user session in single click are in the next screen shot.



Ubuntu is getting better and better in writing drivers, and effective usage of available resources. I remember when I rotate desktop cube while playing a video, I got a blue screen in the older versions of Ubuntu. But now even when deform the cube as cylinder and rotate, I could watch the video while rotating. This is a clear indication that a better software hack could overcome hardware incompatibilities. Here is the screen shot.




Let the Freedom spread through the world..Once again hats off for Ubuntu.
Here is a short desktop capture video
