Ubuntu’s Intrepid Ibex Makes the Leap

Just a few more days. Yes, the U.S. presidential election is a mere week away, but there’s another countdown going on. Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Edition, the Intrepid Ibex release, is set to go live on Thursday. The beta has excited both users and potential users of the popular distro because of its rich mobility functionality, including 3G support and the ability to create a portable Linux desktop using a USB thumb drive. The latter feature, in particular, has the potential to spur the use of Linux on the desktop generally.
