Ubuntu 9.10 ‘Karmic Koala’ released, could decide your OS fate

It’s October 2009 which means something very special for Linux fans: a 9.10 release of Ubuntu. Today we see the launch of “Karmic Koala” featuring a faster graphical boot sequence (no more scary text scrolls), a revamped audio framework that improves sound control across multiple applications, and a new Software Center that visually simplifies the Add/Remove Applications tool. These are just a few of the user-centric improvements meant to have a “transformative effect” on the OS experience and help bring “the world of open source closer to the user.” It’s available in desktop, server, and netbook editions now so get to it, before you know it you’ll be updating to Lucid Lynx.
