We are just about three weeks out from the final release of
Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon, but those wishing to try out the new release
early or wish to help in testing, the Ubuntu 7.10 Beta release is
available today. This Ubuntu Beta release, which will be succeeded by
the Ubuntu 7.10 Release Candidate and then the final release, contains
GNOME 2.20 and other updated packages such as GIMP 2.4.0-rc2 and Pidgin
2.2.0. The Ubuntu 7.10 Beta is coming out one month since the last
development release, Tribe 5, since Tribe 6 was never released to the
public. The new Gutsy Gibbon artwork and wallpaper are also present in
this test release.
