Ubuntu Karmic Koala Beta to be released later today
The much awaited Karmic Koala beta is due today from Ubuntu team…
With a ton of new features – and as always, the bleeding edge of the Linux world, I just can’t wait to test it out.
These features include
- Gnome 2.28
- Software Center (replacing the old Add/Remove)
- Ubuntu One file sharing service
- Kernel 2.6.31
- Seemingly new video drivers for Intel based cards
- Movement to ext4 and Grub2 as defaults
- Uncomplicated Firewall
- Newer KDE packages
- And much more @ Technical Overview page
The Beta release is yet to happen – as the daily builds page is still reflecting the builds from 29th September.
