Kunbuntu Dapper Drake Stable Version Released

 

The wait is over! The stable version of the new Ubuntu / Kubuntu Linux distribution is out as of today. You can get the .iso file or order a free CD from the Kubuntu website. I'm downloading it as I type (it must be popular as I'm only get ~40 KB/Sec). In fact, Canonical, the sponsors of the Ubuntu projec,t have reported over 50,000 pre-orders for CDs for this version.

If you're an inveterate Windows user and have never considered tryning Linux before I emplor you to try Kubuntu. It's like all the best bits of Windows and Linux rolled into one.

As a self-confessed eye candy addict I've been itching to try out the new Compiz XGL features that are available on Dapper Drake. This adds a plethora of eye-candy to your Linux desktop (3D desktop cube, fancy window transitions, transparency, et cetera).

I'll post a report and some screenshots once I have it up-and-running!
