Reasons to upgrade your Ubuntu

ubuntu.com is down unfortunately. The release of Ubuntu 9.10, Karmic Koala the latest version of Ubuntu Linux, is obviously driving a heck of a lot of traffic to the site. (I wonder if they use the equivalent of wp-super-cache?)

Anyway, I’ll be upgrading tomorrow probably and once I do I’ll be checking out some of the applications mentioned on this page. Everything from an alternative media player, the (as yet unreleased) Gnome 3.0, audio/video editing, a photo manager to the pretty sweet Electric Sheep screensaver are listed here.

Many of the apps are available for Ubuntu 9.04 but others require building manually. I’ll be busy over the weekend 🙂

Here’s a few of the eye catching screenshots from that page, just to whet your appetite!
