Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) released
Canonical has announced that version 6.10 (i.e. October 2006) of Ubuntu, and by extension Kubuntu, have been released. This version features KDE 3.5.5 (based on Qt 3.3.6), digital photo manager Digikam by default, a new hardware database client, an improved System Settings application (basically the KDE Control Center behind a Mac-like system preferences window) and Qt 4.2.0. Underneath, it's Linux 2.6.17, GLibc 2.4 and GCC 4.1. Screenshots here with download locations here; installation instructions at the bottom of this page. Available, as usual, for i386, AMD64 and PowerPC (server version may be available on other platforms like SPARC). This is not a long-term support version like Dapper (6.06); it will be supported for the usual 18 months.
