Download Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot
Canonical’s still one month away from letting Natty Narwhal (also known as Ubuntu 11.04) out of the cage, but it’s already teasing us with another OS flaunting an alliterative mammalian monicker. Like the Narwhal before it, Oneiric Ocelot (or Ubuntu 11.10), due out this October, will offer a 2D OpenGL-based Unity interface to support older computers, as well as Qt — you know, the framework Nokia loved and left hanging. You can also expect Ubuntu to scale back on the number of cloud services with the Ocelot, as it gears up for the release of the as-of-yet unnamed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS [...]

An early look at the next release of Ubuntu’s Linux desktop hit the web late yesterday. What’s in 10.10, or “Maverick Meerkat,” for desktop users? Besides app updates, there’s a new photo manager, improved multimedia controls, better Ubuntu One syncing, and more.
The full list of changes and new things is listed at the beta page, but what strikes us in a quick look at a live-booting beta (for which we recommend Unetbootin and a USB thumb drive) are the changes to Ubuntu One, the Dropbox-like syncing service that ties in Music Store purchases, personal files, [...]

When you’re shopping, you want security; when you’re working, you want reliability; and when you’re being entertained, you want speed and compatibility with many different types of media.

List of the Best Linux Downloads
We love Linux, and want to make it easier for others to do so, too. This first edition of the Lifehacker Pack for Linux includes our favorite apps that get things done and make your desktop great.
Linux isn’t quite like Windows or Mac, as there are many, many distributions, usually running on one of two desktop systems (GNOME or KDE).

Review: Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala
Ubuntu 9.10 is the latest Ubuntu’s release that brings in myriad of fixes and new features that make it the most user-friendly Linux OS ever made. GadgetMix.com spent quite a lot of time with the Alphas, Betas and the final release and we are impressed! Installation NOTHING has changed as compared to the previous releases.

Note: You need to format it in FAT32 to properly boot it via USB So what [...]
