Karmic Beta 1 will be available to all in just TWO WEEKS time!
Although nothing “new” as such will be present in the Beta, a lot of it will actually be “new” as in ‘the first time it’s been included/packaged/installed’.
Beta Updates: –
- The boot experience will finally be refined from the wild and slightly untamed version found in the Alphas.
- Boot Speeds will be aggressively worked on from now until release date – building on the foundations laid in the Alpha’s.
- The new and improved WUBI will make it’s first appearance – allowing easy upgrading of WUBI installs to fully fledged partitions, bootcamp support for Mac Owners and even (!) ‘CoLinux’ support: Ubuntu as a portable application running inside Windows proper!
- Say hello (finally) to Firefox 3.5 OFFICIALLY in Ubuntu.
- Ubuntu Moblin Netbook Remix (what a name!) will finally be able for download and install by the Moblin-curious.
- Application fixes to ensure all installed fit nicely on netbook sized screens.
