Be Excited For Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala

It’s been a long time since Ubuntu to drop another amazing bomb of Linux goodness on us, and that’s what they’ll be doing with the next installment of the Ubuntu operating system, version 9.10, also known as Karmic Koala.

First of all, Karmic Koala will provide a new theme, bringing some aesthetic flair to an all too familiar desktop setup, as well as showcasing one of the fastest boot times for a fully packaged Linux distribution.

Firefox 3.5 is now included, which has support for HTML 5′s Open Web Video, Ogg Theora/Vorbis, and much more!

Instead of ext3, ext4 is now the default file system. What’s different between ext3 and ext4?

Karmic Koala includes support for the newest Linux kernel, Kernel 2.6.31, as well as for a multitude of newer NVIDIA (VDPAU/CUDA) and Intel drivers.

Karmic Koala features all of the above, and so much more. Stay tuned for more updates until the release!
