The latest version of Ubuntu, called Gutsy Gibbon will be available on the 18th of this month. Never heard of Ubuntu? Here’s a shirt description (taken from the Ubuntu site)

“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. Ubuntu is free software.”

In even simpler terms, Ubuntu is a free alternative to Microsoft Windows software. With a little configuration it can do anything that Windows can do, from transferring music to your ipod, to playing the latest dvds, and it comes bundled with loads of great software. And best of all its free, and you’re allowed, in fact encouraged to copy it and give it to people so that they can use it as well.

So, if you’re interested you can either head over to the Ubuntu website where you can download it, or you can head over to http://www.shipit.ubuntu.com and request that they send you some cds – and yes, they will send you cds for absolutely nothing, free, gratis!
