Ubuntu 11.10 is finally out! I haven't played about with the final version yet, but I'll be installing it this weekend. I've been using the alpha and beta on my new netbook, and I've seen quite a few changes from 11.04. The kernel 3.0, whuile not necessarily a major change (just a versioning number) does have the changes necessary so that video works better on the AMD 6200 video chip. I've already tried Neverwinter Nights, and it seems to run great. The alpha did, of course, have its share of bugs, and hopefully all of them have been corrected, but I'm confident. The only bad point is that I still haven't grown used to Unity, and even after forcing myself to use it exclusively for a week, I still don't like it. Now it looks like the new version will need a bit more taming... Anyway, more news on that next week! I'm going to install it (officially) on the netbook, replacing the alpha, and seeing what happens.

Ubuntu normally makes quite a bit of noise every time a new version comes out, but to be honest, this time I didn't hear anything on the net. Of course I knew it was coming out, since I've been using it on and off since the alpha, but I haven't seen it on any sites, and I haven't seen any of the "Coming in x days" logos out there. Is that just me?
