Upcoming Ubuntu 7.10

I have added an Ubuntu countdown timer to my blog. The upcoming release is called Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon". Since Ubuntu is a major Linux distribution, this is pretty big news in the Linux community. Clicking on the timer will take you to the Ubuntu site where you can download Live CD images. If you burn an Ubuntu ISO to a CD, you can boot Ubuntu from a CD, and nothing will be stored on your hard drive (unless you decide to install later). That's why it's called a "Live CD". It's an easy way to try out a Linux distribution. The only requirements are a broadband internet connection and a blank CD (plus burning software, of course). Off to the library...
