Ubuntu Release day: here comes Gutsy Gibbon

Today is the release date for Ubuntu 7.10, also known as Gutsy Gibbon. It is not a Long Term Support (LTS) release, that will come in april 2008. But this release includes new features so they can be stabilised for the april LTS release, such as for example a tickless kernel, improving power savings and virtualisation capabilities, read/write support for NTFS partitions, and 3D graphics on the desktop.

The final release is not yet available at the time of posting, but expect it to appear later today on their download servers.
