Hi
Regarding the karmic koala, I reckon that the release is at the very right
time and is building a huge excitement among ubuntu fans, here. is there
gonna be Wine preinstalled in 9.10 also I am looking forward to some
improvements in Gimp, like job jackets which allow multiple users to work on
one document, some thing like in Quarkxpress, which is a page layout
software.
By the way, can somebody kindly send me a copy of karmic koala, the ship it
website says I cannot have any more cd's shipped. got 5 cd's of jaunty from
there. shipping address
House No 4088-C Sector 37-C Central Excise colony Chandigarh India 160036
Regards & best wishes
sumit
