Just 2 days until the latest version of Ubuntu Linux is released. On October 13th 2005, Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) will be officially released as the stable version of the Ubuntu Linux Operating System. The Breezy release is the third release of Ubuntu Linux, which debuted in October of 2004. Ubuntu releases a new version of the Debian-based operating system every six months, or April and October of every year.
The new version is the second Linux-base operating system to come with Gnome 2.12, the latest version of the popular desktop environment. Breezy also debuts a new boot screen (instead of the text boot) as well as the latest version of OpenOffice.org 2.0.
Breezy is also the first release for a subproject of Ubuntu, named Edubuntu. Edubuntu is geared at designing an operating system for use in schools.
Breezy is already available in the Preview Release (released several days before the stable release). You can download that and install it and then update packages as they become available and end up with the stable release. Also, if you already have Hoary or Warty installed, you can upgrade to Breezy right now.
