Following the alphabet and such, here's the Ocelot Dreamlike.
And as I spent the next name, AKA Natty Narwhal (narwhal elegant), I put it now, so you do not say.
Maverick Meerkat, Ubuntu 10.10 has a name

This cute meerkat (well it does not, but I was amused the Vicks Vaporub) and some others translate as maverick and independent (well, maybe it is the Vicks Vaporub ...), will give true name the next Ubuntu (and distros sisters) in the list, the 10.10, which according to Mark Shuttleworth , expect it to be agile and light as the meerkat own, besides being the first to include Gnome 3.0 as standard.
The career of "muedte" Windows vs. Ubuntu

For those who do not think that Ubuntu 9.10 has improved faster booting, a video from TuxRadar, compare where the startup speed on computers with identical settings, including Windows Vista (not sure which SP), Windows 7, Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope" and Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala", all in their 64-bit, and waiting for Ubuntu 4.10 "Hardy Heron" late 15 seconds to load (or so they say).

... Sorry, this Koala 
Fresh from the oven now available aka Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" to the delight of users of Ubuntu and derivatives in particular (under Kubuntu, which does not delight, you suffer in silence) and renegadores Windows in general. The new version brings changes to make it more user friendly not too used to exit Windows, but want to try something "new" (which has been its potential audience), especially in the boot screen, which also has improved its speed and the display of "login". Also improved the audio system and connectivity with 3G modems, portable usual lately, which also have their own version tailored for them, the Ubuntu Netbook Remix.
Another important development is the integration of "Ubuntu One" on the desktop, to use the 2 GB of space offered by Canonical people in the "cloud" for backups, synchronize contacts, file sharing etc ... And on the subject of software included, given the change to Pidgin and Empathy messaging client officer, although you can still install the first via repositories without any problem, as usual. Speaking of repositories, Ubuntu Software Center also reaches the "store" application that comes to replace Synaptic to install programs.
As always in Desktop and Server versions.

Ship-it Ubuntu for the "Karmic Koala" now available

A few days after the release of Ubuntu 9.10, also known as Ubuntu "Karmic Koala" people of Canonical send back discs Ubuntu and always abused Kubuntu (which at this point wonder keep sending the latter) all as it always completely free of charge on account of Mr. Shuttleworth , that if, as long you can only order a CD, not like before they were sent "to Cholon." Although I have always said that the CDs were sent Canonical bullshit garbage, I'll give Karma a chance to see how they have evolved.
By the way, still is missing shipment of Xubuntu , but these can be ordered On-Disk , but shipping will not pay them.
PS: I just carry a wide mouth WHAM! 
It is seen that and I asked too many 
... Well, now comes when I get angry and do not breathe

Ubuntu 10.4 will be a "Lucid Lynx"

A few weeks before the release of Ubuntu 9.10 codename "Karmic Koala" (October 29), comes the christening of his later version, which in this case is called "Lucid Lynx" or Lucid Lynx as I have up there.
In his "original" Ubuntu, will come with their "store" Market Share Ubuntu, which is being Synaptic but the current situation evolved where everyone puts in their operating systems stores (read: Android Store, iTunes Store, Windows Marketplace and so on. .) although this is not new in itself, as they also come with the Karmic Koala.
I also hope that officially launched the lighter version of Ubuntu, Lubuntu with the LXDE desktop environment, which according to it is still lighter than XFCE / Xubuntu.

Ubuntu already has its "Hare horned" aka Jaunty Jackalope

After 6 months of Intrepid Ibex, is now the official starting date of the penultimate version of Ubuntu and derivatives, 9.04, that comes with the "gentle horned hare" as an image and code name.
It comes with new versions of the 3 most popular desktop environments (Gnome Ubuntu 2.26, Kubuntu with KDE 4.2 and Xubuntu with XFCE 4.6), and many other new features such as Computer Janytor a tool to remove old and obsolete packages in addition to improving performance the system.
There are also internal changes, less visible to the naked eye, but equally or more useful, as the use of the ext4 file system, which has replaced the ext3, although the choice between these two, plus the environment updates graphic kernel or nucleus .
Available for download Ubuntu version http://releases.ubuntu.com/jaunty/ (or later update, via the package manager), although it is advisable to download via torrent, for better diffusion of all specifically from here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors # bt
And as a last resort, ask on the ship-it, although as continue with the same quality of CD's that at first, almost better choose download: http://shipit.ubuntu.com http://shipit.kubuntu.com
