[excerpts from Ubuntu]

Introduction

The Ubuntu developers are hurrying to bring you the absolute latest and greatest software the Open Source Community has to offer. Gutsy Gibbon Tribe 5 is the fifth alpha release of Ubuntu 7.10, and this alpha release brings a host of excellent new features.

.......................

New features for Firefox

Ubufox ships two new, hot Ubuntu Firefox features - Apt-Enabled Plugin Finder Wizard and Extension Manager integration.

[Well mind you, this time its coming with Adobes Shockwave player...awsome....]

Graphical Configuration tool for X

You can now configure what driver you want to use for your graphic card, set up dual monitors, change the default resolution for all users or change your monitor's refresh rate without having to turn to the terminal. A new GUI has been added making it trivial to adjust your video and monitor settings.




New Printing System


[I would like to highlight just a single line from the Ubuntu Wiki..and it is...]


Thanks to [WWW] hal-cups-utils, printers are now automatically, fully configured by merely plugging them in and turning them on. Printer setup cannot get any easier!

Hi nandu,
Reading this post makes me really excited to try out gutsy gibbon as early as possible.

I am waiting for the day when they make it available in the shipit.ubuntu.com site.

Or better still, someone can download and snail mail it to me ;)

with regards
Justin
