Default Ubuntu 7.10 has been released!!!

A new version of the popular Linux distribution Ubuntu as well as Kubuntu and Edubuntu has been released today to the public. Users of version 7.04 can get the new version by running the Update Manager. Other users will have to download ubuntu 7.10 from the official download mirrors.
The Ubuntu Desktop Edition includes Hardware Management improvements, improved support for display systems especially for laptop users and users with multi monitor systems, an enhanced user interface, windows compatibility including full NTFS support, a desktop search and automatic integration of Firefox plugins that have been validated by Ubuntu before.
Make sure you take a look at the release notes to know what exactly has been changed. They also contain tips on common errors and compatibility issues.

That's why people use torrents.

Anyways, if there is a new version, do you have to reinstall Ubuntu or is it like service packs.

You can just upgrade, but I'm moving from Ubuntu to Xubuntu. Sure, I could instlal XFCE and all the apps manually after upgrading...but it would take a very long time.

In my case, its easier to install from scratch.

You can update, but I prefer a fresh copy of each release. I back up anything important to another partition and reformat my Linux partition. It gives a nice, fresh, clean system every 6 months which keeps PC's running great.

lifehacker.com has a good review on this release and the new features and stuff
__________________
Torvalds was contemptuous of Microsoft's claims and has asked Redmond to name the patent infringements so that their veracity can be challenged and workarounds found.
"Naming them would either make it clear that Linux is not infringing at all (which is quite possible, especially if the patents are bad), or would make it possible to avoid infringing by coding around whatever silly thing they claim,"

"So the whole 'We have a list and we're not telling you' should tell you something. Don't you think that if Microsoft actually had some really foolproof patent, they'd just tell us and go, 'nyaah, nyaah, nyaah!'?"

7.10 is a great release. I've been using it since the Beta, and even the Beta was rock solid for me.

Only problem I'm experiencing with the final release so far is my screen resolution wants to drop back down to 1280x800 instead of native 1440x900 when I startup for some reason.

I've got it downloaded. Now I've got to get it burned, resize my partition, and install it for dual boot. Maybe I'll get it done by the next release...
