Welcome to Karmic Koala Alpha 1, which will in time become Ubuntu 9.10. Development for Karmic just recently opened and many of the new features have not yet started to appear. Currently the changes include the synchronisation of packages from Debian Sid, a new kernel based on 2.6.30, and the latest development release of GNOME, 2.27.1. Other features: technology for power management and laptop Fn key maps was moved from hal to DeviceKit-power and udev-extras; new Intel video driver architecture available for testing; Karmic uses GCC 4.4 as the default compiler. Ubuntu is a community developed, linux-based operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. It contains all the applications you need - a web browser, presentation, document and spreadsheet software, instant messaging and much more. This VMWare image lets you try it out without installing it or even rebooting your machine, and works in the Free VMWare player.
