Will Ubuntu have enough servers to meet Ubuntu’s demand? I’m guessing the Internet will feel the impact of the new release tomorrow ;-)
With all the intense interest, hype, and eagerness to get ahold of Ubuntu 7.10, I hope Ubuntu has enough server/bandwidth capacity to meet the demand. I know I’ll have an ISO downloading at some point during the day tomorrow.
There are quite a few updates to make 7.10 “Gutsy Gibbon” better. Most notably, there’s Gnome 2.20 which has a plethora of new features itself. You will also notice Compiz/3D desktop is now built in (instead of doing the rather easy post-install setup). Media and ‘restricted drivers’ are a bit cleaner in the alpha/betas I used.
My only concern would be there were a few bugs that had not been wrinkled out in the last beta I used. I know a couple others were having issues including Firefox crashing often. We’ll see if they’re cleaned up, but I have no doubt the release and engineering teams have been working a bit of overtime in the last couple weeks to clean things up. I for one, will be moving to 7.10 immediately on my home system.
