Here you go.....Ubuntu 7.10!

Ubuntu 7.10 is out. This latest release is named "Gutsy Gibbon," and it proves that Ubuntu Linux can really become an everyday desktop system when it comes to pure usability without knowing any programming.

Gutsy Gibbon ships as a "live CD", which means you can boot from your DVD drive and test Ubuntu without touching your existing system. It works exactly the same as you do install Ubuntu on your system. Gutsy Gibbon is very easy to install and set up and it makes things "just work" out of the box. WiFi, printing, iPod all works immediately after installation without any drivers required.

Other notable changes in Ubuntu 7.10 are the latest GNOME Desktop, which provides much improved drag-and-drop support to the user interface, and Compiz, the whiz-bang 3-D desktop effects package, which is enabled by default.

If you hate Windows or Mac(is it possible?) so much, Ubuntu makes the process painless. Its ability to seamlessly import all your settings, music and data eliminates one of the most stressing events for new users. Once you're in, the learning curve is close to nothing.
