Ubuntu® 8.10 Desktop Edition enables mobile, flexible computing for a
changing digital world
*London, October 27, 2008:* Canonical Ltd. announced the upcoming
availability of Ubuntu® 8.10 Desktop Edition for free download on 30
October. In related news, Canonical also announced the simultaneous
release of Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edition.
Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Edition is designed for the pervasively connected
digital lifestyle. With new 3G network support, users can move smoothly
from wired and WiFi networks onto 3G cellphone networks while traveling.
Ubuntu 8.10 is also built to be shared - users can start a quick "guest
session" on the fly and let someone use their computer to surf the web
or check email, while maintaining the security and integrity of their
own data. And if that person really enjoys their brief session as an
Ubuntu guest, they can put Ubuntu on any USB key and take it home to
install on their own computer rather than having to burn a CD.
