ubuntuiconUbuntu 9.10 was released on the 30th of October 2009 (I know it's a bit late for me to be writing this, but school and the website crash have delayed some things) and was given the name Karmic Koala. Ubuntu is a Linux operating system and is one of the most popular for people who are new to Linux due to it's user friendliness and support. I believe with each version of Ubuntu, Linux gets closer to being a viable full time replacement for Microsoft Windows. The WINE application which is downloadable to the system allows you to run Microsoft Office using a series of steps (though it's still not easy to do the steps yet) and some other Windows Applications). Using an emulator like Sun VirtualBox is even better. So lets have a quick overview of the latest version of Ubuntu at this time and look at it's major aspects and improvements from Ubuntu 9.04.
