It’s October 2009 which means something very special for Linux fans(me included): a 9.10 release of Ubuntu. Today we see the launch of “Karmic Koala” featuring a faster graphical boot sequence (no more scary text scrolls), a revamped audio framework that improves sound control across multiple applications, and a new Software Center that visually simplifies the Add/Remove Applications tool.
