Out Now! Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex

Its better, its faster and its definitely more irresistible to handle. Ubuntu's latest version INTREPID IBEX is definitely the most irresistible upgrade till date. It has fine tuned the earlier versions limitation and brings lot of hope for a better and brighter GUI for users. Also, it is packed with some new features that will make your heart to want it more. What more can we ask for! Lets have a look at some of its key features ....(of course other than the technical ones):

1. Package-kit manager: its a application that interacts between the user and the OS and provides a better understanding for the user. It enhances the GUI experience and converts the technical language into simple English for better understanding.

2. Guest account: how many times we thought of giving our laptops/desktops to others to use with the fear of losing our privacy. Not any more! Guest account works just like in any other OS'.

3. Enhanced Driver database: Now, we will not have to suffer due to some hardware that we have but cannot use because of driver unavailability. Intrepid promises a lot in terms of driver database; old as well as new.

4. System-Cleaner: Its cleans out all the old and useless Linux kernels previously installed on to the OS. It helps in increasing and maintaining the speed of the system.

5. Quick Unmount: Use of USB drives is made more comfortable. You can mount and unmount the devices easily with the new easy and quick unmount option.

For now, these are top 5 features that I thought are very important for day-today basis....I will be back with some more news later.
