Ubuntu 9.10 is out!!!

When downloading Ubuntu 9.10 please consider using bittorrent to get your copy of Ubuntu.

The Ubuntu Developers Summit for Lucid Lynx will be held the week of 16-Nov-2009 till 20-Nov-2009 in Dallas, TX USA. Visit the the Ubuntu wiki for more information about UDS and how to participate remotely.

The Community Cafe
The Community Chat area is for lighthearted and enjoyable discussions, like you might find around a water cooler at work.

Almost any non-tech-support topic may be discussed here. Discussions on religion and politics are not allowed, except for politics directly related to free and open source issues. Any topic or discussion that causes problems or drama will be closed. This area is intended for fun and community building, not arguments. Please take those elsewhere. Thanks!

Lets hope windows 7 is just as sucessful as the zune.
also i find it interesting they brought up the "google chrome os" as competition, i would be a little shocked if that took off to the extent that it could really compete with microsoft.

No doubt that it will...they will first release the cloud version of the Google Chrome OS then the regular install version.
