What Will Ubuntu 10.10 Look Like?

“When Canonical broke the news recently that Ubuntu 10.10 will
include uTouch 1.0, a multitouch and gesture stack, it caused a
flurry of excitement about the Linux release’s potential for use in
tablets.

“Thanks to the new technology, users of Ubuntu 10.10–also known
as Maverick Meerkat–will be able to switch applications or tabs
within an application, for example, using gestures. Android users
have already been enjoying the power of touch, of course, but this
new technology will bring it to the Linux desktop.

“Ubuntu 10.10 is currently in its third alpha release, with the
final version expected on October 10. Current home and business
users of older versions of Ubuntu will have to decide if the
benefits make it worth upgrading the free software.”
