Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" Available

[Savvas Radevic]

The new ubuntu release is here, packing the bright new shiny "Unity"
desktop.
Even though it's a personal opinion, I have to say I liked it. [?] Give it a
try or give it a couple of months before upgrading, check out the release
notes and known issues: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/ReleaseNotes

Finally a warning, the btrfs filesystem included in this release is still *
experimental*, don't use it on disks/partitions containing critical data.
There is *no fsck* tool that can fix errors on a corrupted btrfs filesystem.
[?]

Happy downloading! [?]

"Form and function are a unity, two sides of one coin. In order to
enhance function, appropriate form must exist or be created."
-Ida P. Rolf


The Ubuntu team is pleased to announce Ubuntu 11.04, code-named
"Natty Narwhal". 11.04 continues Ubuntu's proud tradition of integrating
the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality,
easy-to-use Linux distribution.

For PC users, Ubuntu 11.04 supports laptops, desktops and netbooks
with a unified look and feel based on a new desktop shell called "Unity".
This version supersedes Ubuntu Netbook Edition for all PC netbooks.

Developer reference images are provided for select Texas Instruments (TI)
ARM
platforms, specifically the "PandaBoard" and "BeagleBoard".

Ubuntu Server 11.04 has made it easier to provision servers, and reduce
power consumption.   Ubuntu Server 11.04 for UEC and EC2 has a new kernel
and
improved initialization and configuration options.
