The Ubuntu team is proud to announce version 7.10 of the Ubuntu family
of distributions.

Ubuntu is a full-featured Linux distribution for desktops, laptops, and
servers, with a fast and easy install and regular releases.  A
tightly-integrated selection of excellent applications is included, and
an incredible variety of add-on software is just a few clicks away.

Professional technical support is available from Canonical Limited and
hundreds of other companies around the world.  For more information

Ubuntu 7.10 will be supported for 18 months on both desktops and
servers. Users requiring a longer support lifetime on servers may choose
to continue using Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, with security support until 2011,
rather than upgrade to or install 7.10.

Ubuntu 7.10 is also the basis for new 7.10 releases of Kubuntu and
Edubuntu:
