Ubuntu has posted for download it 10.4 release or as named "Lucid Lynx" distro. This is a big jump but the emphasis has been on general tightening and cleaning up of the OS. There are a number of new features and it appearance has moved away from the Brown standard default background. There are now apps for movie editing and social networking as well as mobile synchronization. Though the release is very stable I would suggest waiting a couple of months until any minor bugs are found and fixed. Here is an article describing the latest release: http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2010/04/ubuntu-1004-arrives-with-ext ended-support-and-less-brown.ars To download the latest version (32 and 64 bit versions): http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download To view the official release note: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 Linux and its various distros have moved a significant distance from the days when the product was a hacker's domain. Now anyone can install and run it. When even your mother or aunt can install the latest version of Ubuntu you know the product has finally come of age. ;-) Jim
