Haven't seen a Sounder post in a long while. You all playing Hide &<br>
Seek and forgot to tell me. LOL<br>

Well, another Ubuntu release is right around the corner. I'm not<br>
entirely certain what's going to be in this next version. What I've<br>
heard is sketchy. The one thing I have heard is that Shuttleworth<br>
wants to "beautify" Ubuntu. It started with 10.04 when the window<br>
buttons were moved to a more Mac-like position, and some nice new<br>
themes were released. Version 10.04 also saw the end of the HAL and<br>
arrival of something called DeviceKit which seems to be working pretty<br>
well so far. At least for me. The removal of the HAL has<br>
dramatically sped up boot times rather significantly, especially on my<br>
AMD Athlon XP 1.2GHz dinosaur.<br>
<br>
What are you expecting or hoping to see in the next major release version 10.10?<br>
<br>
Anyone here a part of the Beta?<br>
