Mark Shuttleworth takes to YouTube, talks Ubuntu 10.04 and what Lucid Lynx stands for
Special Features
Black Friday 2009
Black Friday is almost here! Gadgetell's got you covered with all the latest news on who's offering the best deals. Dangerous crowds? You're on your own.
Palm Pre Information & Updates
Palm just introduced their next-gen smartphone, the Palm Pre, and next-gen operating system, Palm webOS. Gadgetell's got the latest Pre and webOS information and news for you right here.
Basically, aside from a really cool sounding name, Lucid Lynx, the upcoming version will be 10.04 and as you can determine from that will be available in April of 2010. In other words we have a little while to wait before it will be available, or more importantly stable for anyone to download, install and begin using.
That said, there is not any reason why Linux geeks and those curious should not begin to get excited.
Anyway, features aside, according to Mark Shuttleworth, at just about 3:40 he begins to tell us about the name, which again is Lucid Lynx. In regards to Lucid, he noted that as being clear and focused on the important parts and the while the Lynx is a predator, he described it as being a “thoughtful predator.”
While that does not give the features away, it does, in a strange way make Ubuntu 10.04 sound just a little bit interesting.
