Ubuntu is the distro. So, the next distro of ubuntu, would be ubuntu.

The next release is 10.04, lucid lynx.

The next release is 10.04, lucid lynx.

It is also a Long Term Support (LTS) release, so it hopefully will fix 9.10 bugs.

Personally, Windows Vista is to Microsoft what Ubuntu 9.10 is to Canonical. Windows 7 is to Microsoft what Ubuntu 10.04 LTS will be for Canonical.

Sigh. Vista wasn't bad, and 7 .= Vista.

Well "Good" and "Bad" are relative terms anyway. What constitutes a Good OS for one maybe Bad to another and vice versa. ^.^ And Win7 is largely vista. With some new toys (including theming..if you can truly call it that) and fixes. Windows 7 though is probably Microsoft's best release yet.

That said I'm also looking forward to 10.04
