Ubuntu 8.10 gets better connected
With Ubuntu Hardy Heron now released, the next exciting thing to come will be Intrepid Ibex, or Ubuntu Linux 8.10 when it makes it debut in October. Intrepid Ibex promises to be packed with more exciting features, something we all enjoy hearing.
Amongst the changes will likely be a number of mobility improvements as well as more flexible internet connectivity. There is also likely to be a refreshed desktop theme which has been in the pipeline for the past two releases.
Earlier this year, Ubuntu Chief Mark Shuttleworth said that, “a particular focus for us will be pervasive Internet access, the ability to tap into bandwidth whenever and wherever you happen to be. We want you to be able to move from the office, to the train, and home, staying connected all the way”.
With seamless Internet connectivity always being a challenge on Ubuntu Linux, any improvement in this area will prove Intrepid Ibex very welcome indeed. Over the past two releases, the Wi-Fi capabilities of Ubuntu have improved although switching between connections can be a frustrating task.
