The Ubuntu developers have outdone themselves this time. If beacons of disaster shone in the sky, their’s would be the brightest. I tried Kubuntu 11.10 on a virtual system and I loved it so much so I opted – against the advice of the little nagging voice in my head – to dive in and … Read more
Is Ocelot ready to pounce? Or is it all oneiric? In the twilight hours of this morning, I thought I’d take a look at the new Kubuntu 11.10, codenamed “Oneiric Ocelot”.
