As promised in my previous post, here’s a gallery of screenshots from Ubuntu 8.10 “Intrepid Ibex” Beta.
The look hasn’t really changed that much, and the install procedure is nearly identical with previous Ubuntu versions. All these screenshots are from a virtual machine in VirtualBox, so they do contain bars above and below the window that won’t be there in a real install.
Canonical have just officially released the first beta of Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex. This new version of Ubuntu comes with a slew of improvements over 8.04, which was released back in April this year.
Codenamed “Intrepid Ibex”, 8.10 continues Ubuntu’s
proud tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open source
technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution.
Ars Technica has good coverage of the newly released Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex alpha 1. As this is an early alpha, the feature set is likely to change significantly before we see the final release, or even a beta. Among the most prominent new features (at the moment) you will find a wholly new theme (called “NewHuman”) and support for USB images and installation media.
IF you like, you can download and try out the alpha yourself, but be warned that this is an ALPHA, so don’t use it on a production machine.
