The final version of Ubuntu 9.10 was released for both desktop computers, servers and netbooks, and is available for download.
Aiming at making the Linux-based operating system the most user-friendly, the developers team redesigned it and improved the boot time, the audio features and the 3G broadband connectivity among others.
It now delivers the Ubuntu One suite of different online services that enhance the desktop experience, simplifying the backup process, enabling synchronization, file sharing and others.
In addition, the Quickly toolset for application developers is meant to enable a fun automated experience in programming.
Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop features audio revamp for improved sound control and the Firefox 3.5 web browser version from Mozilla.

The Server edition brings the Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud open-source cloud computing environment powered by Eucalyptus Systems, which allows businesses to use private clouds, the MySQL 5.1, upgraded Single Sign On, Django, better support for Xen and KVM, and support for USB 3.0

Jane Silber, COO at Canonical, said about Ubuntu 9.10: “We are delivering a platform for users interested in an easy-to-use, great-looking, web-friendly operating system. A faster, more beautiful boot and login sequence, file and contact synchronization through online services and great experiences on the most popular notebook, desktop and netbook models continue to drive Ubuntu into the mainstream of computing choices.”
