Testing New Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (8.10) Alpha Five

New Ubuntu with new features and weird theme. Article about new upcoming release...

Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (8.10) is the next release of Ubuntu Linux. It will be released in October. Now it's Semptember and operating system looks nice and quite stable.

I tried the same release few months earlier, it was buggy and it crashed sometimes. Themes and Compiz didn't work. Now I see a new Human theme cointaining dark grey and brow mixed together to make a good-looking environment. It's dark and looks weird at the first sight but after few minutes, you understand. It's just different.

Many days has been spent for this theme but there still some compatiblity problems with few applications' own colouring making it worrier than the old one. I hope, they can fix these problems.

Every release cointains something new, in this release, it is something I haven't seen yet. It can be, it's just more fixed and patched version of last LTS. There is something new, but I have found nothing else than the theme. I think, there is enough fixing with KDE 4, so there can be more changes in this release.

Restricted drivers has been updated and my Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT is now compatible with restricted drivers provided by Ubuntu.

I'm finally found the end of this article. It was short. Idea was good but I had less information to write about. Anyway, it will be released in the end of next month.
