¡Ya ha salido la preview de la nueva versión de Ubuntu!
Recordemos que muchos de nosotros la primera vez que instalamos Ubuntu fue con una preview… y no estuvo nada mal. Incluyo muchísimas mejoras, entre ellas os pego las más importantes (en inglés), aunque el plato fuerte es sin duda el ayer salido escritorio Gnome 2.10:
- GNOME 2.10 – Very fresh… Released yesterday!
- X.org 6.8.2
- Kickstart compatibility for automatic installations
- Several new desktop package-management tools to make it even easier to stay up to date
- An ultra-fast boot process, with optimized init process and special optimizations for the hotplug system
- Improved hardware support on a range of platforms – laptops in particular gain improved suspend/hibernation support and processor frequency scaling
- Unified and improved hardware detection between the install and live CDs, which gives us live CDs on powerpc and amd64 too
- A range of improvements related to internationalization, translations, and different keyboard layouts, including a new smart keyboard selector that guesses your keyboard based on keypresses
- A load of new Ubuntu-specific documentation, thanks to the hard work of our community documentation team
- Instant messaging, desktop publishing, office productivity, with vorbis playback and Python 2.4 ready out of the box
- Enhancements to the hardware abstraction layer to provide you with BIOS, CPU, memory and LSB data (infrastructure for the upcoming hardware database)
- Enhanced proactive security due to privilege minimization of many processes which previously ran as root. This work reduces the impact of many potential security vulnerabilities.
- The very best of the 100% FREE / LIBRE application software world.
- Much, much more!
Como siempre se puede bajar tanto LiveCD como InstallCD para x86, amd64 y ppc.
