Quote:"There is nothing like a dream to create the future." - Victor Hugo 

The Ubuntu team is pleased to announce Ubuntu 11.10, code-named

"Oneiric Ocelot". 11.10 continues Ubuntu's proud tradition of

integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies

into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution.

 

For PC users, Ubuntu 11.10 supports laptops, desktops and netbooks

with a unified look and feel based on an updated version of the

desktop shell called "Unity", which introduces specialized "Lenses".

Finding and installing software using the Ubuntu Software Centre is

now easier thanks to improvements in speed, search functionality

enhancements, and usability improvements. Aside from updates

on the performance side, it's also more aesthetically appealing.

 

Ubuntu Server 11.10 has made it much easier to provision, deploy,

host, manage, and orchestrate enterprise data centre infrastructure

services with the introduction of "Orchestra". The Juju technical

preview allows service developers to describe the deployment and

scaling requirements of their applications, in order to simplify

and enhance the dialogue between developers and operations teams.

For those working on the ARM architecture, a technical preview is

also provided for the ARM server.
