Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon

I have just installed the latest Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. Not much difference can be found when loading the desktop for the first time, except there's a user name and desktop search icon on top right corner. Compiz window manager (like Beryl) is automatically activated when the installer detects the computer performance.


Pros :

• Better power consumption for laptop users
• Most of the packages are already pre installed
• Built in some firefox plugins
• Can detect secondary display automatically. Which means, I don't have to change my screen resolution everytime I want to project my screen through projector
• Pidgin 2.2.1 Multi Messenger is now pre-installed
• Can read and write to NTFS partition
  

Cons :

• Can't install msttcorefonts which is required for IBM 5250 emulator to run (I am currently researching about ubuntu-restricted-extras package and will get back shortly for the result)
• Can't set anything for Compiz. Unlike Beryl, the visual effect is very limited to wobbly windows, snap to edges, transparent title bar and maximize / minimize / close window animation

Overall, it's still the same good Ubuntu, with more power and features. But please note that these pros and cons are the ones that I found within 2 hours of usage. You can find more new features floating around the web and within the Ubuntu website itself
