Ubuntu 11.10 Now Available!

Yesterday marked the release of Ubuntu 11.10 'Oneiric Ocelot'.  So what is the big deal?  What's been changed?  For starters Unity has been updated, and GNOME 3.2 shows up too.  Mozilla's Thunderbird is now the default mail app as opposed to Evolution (from previous released).  The Ubuntu Software Center received a makeover along with Gwibber.  And Firefox 7.01 is the default web browser.

For those of you fellow 'Ubuntuers' (haha, I just made up a word); swing by the Ubuntu website and download the latest release at: http://www.ubuntu.com/download

Our latest video has gone live, be sure to check it out: "Help Ubuntu!-Video Series: Customizing Ubuntu Pt.1"!

In this video we will cover how to setup Gwibber; so you can let it do the hard work in keeping you updated on what is happening on your Social Networking sites (Twitter and Facebook).  We also cover how to install packages (in my case I will install Google's Chrome Web Browser), and we cover installing and using Ubuntu Tweak.

Ubuntu Tweak is a great tool for new Ubuntu user's because it includes pretty much every setting you'd ever want access to all within a single location.  From changing desktop settings, and login screen options.  All the way down to installing packages and even editing the Source Code (if that is your cup of tea).
