"There is nothing like a dream to create the future." - Victor Hugo<br>
<br>
The Ubuntu team is pleased to announce Ubuntu 11.10, code-named<br>
"Oneiric Ocelot". 11.10 continues Ubuntu's proud tradition of<br>
integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies<br>
into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution.<br>
<br>
For PC users, Ubuntu 11.10 supports laptops, desktops and netbooks<br>
with a unified look and feel based on an updated version of the<br>
desktop shell called "Unity", which introduces specialized "Lenses".<br>
Finding and installing software using the Ubuntu Software Centre is<br>
now easier thanks to improvements in speed, search functionality<br>
enhancements, and usability improvements. Aside from updates<br>
on the performance side, it's also more aesthetically appealing.<br>
<br>
Ubuntu Server 11.10 has made it much easier to provision, deploy,<br>
host, manage, and orchestrate enterprise data centre infrastructure<br>
services with the introduction of "Orchestra". The Juju technical<br>
preview allows service developers to describe the deployment and<br>
scaling requirements of their applications, in order to simplify<br>
and enhance the dialogue between developers and operations teams.<br>
For those working on the ARM architecture, a technical preview is<br>
also provided for the ARM server.<br>
<br>
