As expected, today launched the newest version of Ubuntu, possibly the Linux distribution most beloved today. And this for a very good reason: Ubuntu, besides a great look, it’s easy, fast and safe (this last one is something that Windows isn’t enough).
Karmic codenamed Koala, version 9.10 promises to bring lower boot times, improved User interface and programming tools that facilitate software development. In my home computer it took 18 seconds to initialize the system.
The new Ubuntu is being offered with a variety of desktop environments that are part of everyday applications such as instant messaging software, browser, document viewer and media players. The options offered include the popular Gnome, KDE and XFCE.
The version 9.10 also includes a new “Ubuntu Software Center, through which users can easily add and remove programs. The system also fixes several bugs in previous versions of Ubuntu and brings more drivers to extend the hardware support, even for webcams.
Another highlight of the new version is the service associated with “Ubuntu One,” which provides for easy backup and file sharing across the 2 GB of online storage available for free by Canonical – and who need more storage capacity can choose a paid plan.
Ubuntu can be downloaded from the downloads page of the system. For free, of course.
