What’s coming on Ubuntu 8.10
Two weeks ago, after the Ubuntu Developer Summit in Praga, a report about what will be the new goals and features on the next Ubuntu was published.
There are many improvements and changes that the developers want to include. Maybe one of the most important changes is the goal about reducing start-up time.
These will be the new features:
- New theme and visual changes on the desktop (they were about to change it on Hardy, but there were no time to do it)
- Better firefox 3 integration on KDE (at this moment Oxygen and Firefox are not good friends)
- 3G network support
- Faster start-up system and general improvements on the system
- The want Wubi to be better, more options, more possibilities
- They will include the kernel 2.6.26 (that’s a shame because webcam and wifi drivers will be included on the 2.6.27)
- Grub2 is going to get in. Basically, grub will became prettier with a nice graphical aspect
- New Compiz Fusion plugins, above all the plugin that will turn soft the log-in and log-out from GNOME or KDE
- Better flash integration and free flash players promoting
