Stat junkies & Ubuntu addicts who need to know exactly how many days remain until everyones favourite Meerkat scuttles into release-land may wish to consider the following small notification script, created by ironic-gnome.
The countdown is set to notify you how many days remain until Ubuntu 10.10’s release date upon every log-in. You can also manually check the status from a terminal by typing ‘maverick‘
It’s a novel way to appease anticipation directly from within Ubuntu itself.
