ElectricLamp Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Ubuntu 11.10 - codename Oneric Ocelot, was released on schedule on the 13th of October. It follows on from 11.04, released in April, bringing improvements to the new Unity interface and better performence. As usual, the release is name after an animal, this time the Ocelot; is a wild cat distributed over South and Central America and Mexico, but has been reported as far north as Texas and in Trinidad, in the Caribbean. The ocelot ranges from 68 to 100 centimetres (27 to 39 in) in length, plus 26 to 45 centimeters (10 to 18 in) in tail length, and typically weighs 8 to 18 kilograms (18 to 40 lb), although much larger individuals have occasionally been recorded, making it the largest of the generally dainty Leopardus wild cat genus. It has sleek, smooth fur, rounded ears and relatively large front paws. While similar in appearance to the oncilla and margay, which inhabit the same region, the ocelot is larger.

Please visit http://kubuntu.org for more information about Kubuntu, and see Kubuntu's 11.10 release announcement. Xubuntu New Features gThumb is now in the default Xubuntu 11.10 installation, to help users with image transformations and viewing. leafpad is the new default text editor (instead of mousepad), and now includes the ability to print. pastebinit is now included in Xubuntu 11.10 installations by default.

LightDM is the new application that manages logins in Xubuntu 11.10. Updated Applications Onboard (the onscreen keyboard) is now included in the default Xubuntu menus, under Accessories. For those who require an onscreen keyboard, this will be much easier to access using only a mouse or touchpad. Xubuntu will continue to use Synaptic Package Manager, yet provides the Ubuntu Software Center for those who prefer it. See the Xubuntu 11.10 release announcement. Lubuntu Lubuntu 11.10 is a brand new flavor of Ubuntu based on the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment (LXDE) as its default GUI. The goal is to provide a very lightweight distribution, with all the advantages of the Ubuntu world (repositories, support, etc.). Lubuntu is targeted at "normal" PC and laptop users running on low-specification hardware. The target user group for this flavor will be either those users who might not be proficient in using command line tools or those users who might not have enough resources for all the bells and whistles of the "full-featured" mainstream distributions. With many LXDE components, Lubuntu also uses well-known applications, such as Chromium, Openbox, Pidgin, to name a few. The Lubuntu project wiki contains more information on the project and the applications used.
