Next ubuntu 11.10 will be scheduled release on the October 13th, 2011. This version will launched with code name Oneric Ocelot, What's new ubuntu 11.10 ?, What's a great feature are available in ubuntu 11.10 Oneric Ocelot ?, that question perhaps crossed your mind now, right ?
Some of user seems surprised with the result of ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhall, a lot of them feels strange with unity desktop and then replace with GNOME 2 as in previous versions. So what will available in ubuntu 11.10, is that fit with your expectations, Here some of Ubuntu 11.04 Features from taken from the official :
- Linux kernel 3.0.0, includes the 3.0.0-12.20 kernel based on the upstream kernel v3.0.4, GCC 4.6, Python 2.7 and Xorg server 1.10.4.
- Unity, unity will run on top of Gnome 3.2 (see how it's works).
- GTK 3
- LightDM as the default login manager
- X.org 1:10
- Unity and bug fixing, Unity will not be forgotten, hopefully will bring much improvement.
- Mozilla Thunderbird is default mail client, Ubuntu 11.10 will use Mozilla Thunderbird as default mail application, although evolution has release version 3 (Evolution 3), i think this is a good choice.
- Déjà Dup, Ubuntu 11.10 will add backup application by default, Déjà Dup (day-ja-doop) is a simple backup tool. It hides the complexity of doing backups the Right Way (encrypted, off-site, and regular) and uses duplicity as the backend.
- Python to 2.7 and 3.2
- New Artwork, we hope that Ubuntu 11.10 will bring new experience and usabillity of desktop enviroment and also bring a new wallpapers :).
