|  Re: Plans for Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) revealed The new kernel will have better laptop/battery support, if you have a laptop that is. Gnome 2.20 with some nice new features like putting the theming into one place. Compiz-fusion by deafult. More good packages in the repo's, like the iceape suite among others. Easier wifi, by putting the ndiswrapper stuff in the restricted driver manager. Faster. At least some of the new good things coming to your computer the 18th of october. Right....  |

| Re: Plans for Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) revealed Yeah, it's the fancy 3d desktop. By october it's probably a lot more stable too. It's a little slow and buggy as for now. But who can blame them when they are merging beryl and compiz. It's a big job. |

It looks like they devoted most of their resources to the vista drivers for now. It would have be better for them to open up the drivers, and they would have beaten nvidia in a short time. And more computer users with ati cards would consider switching to linux. And nvidia would likely open their drivers too, so they would not loose a lot of costumers. | |

| Re: Plans for Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) revealed Desktop effects are pretty sweet. I can get them running with the open source ati driver, but not fglrx, and I need fglrx for tv-out. I suppose I could make it work eventually with xgl, but then I think I'd have wacom issues. Decisions, decisions... |
