The multiboot DVD attached to this edition contains the 4 distributions, namely:

• Fedora, • Mandriva, • openSUSE, • Ubuntu.

You will find in this magazine an introduction to each of this major actors in order to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses. Keep in mind that your needs may and probably will evolve (testing a distribution within a couple of hours is different than using it for years). Most of what you will learn in one distribution will be usable in another one (GNOME tools, KDE tools, shells commands are distribution-agnostic).

Each distribution tries to provide the best experience “out-of-the-box”, so we offer you the possibility to test the Live edition in order to verify if your specific hardware setup is correctly handled. Using this Live mode allows to check thoroughly the distribution's fitness to your needs without altering the disk partitioning. If you appreciate what you have seen, you just need to click on the Install icon on the desktop to have the distribution on your hard drive.

This is an exciting release for the Ubuntu community. The previous release, 8.04, was a Long Term Support, or LTS release. In 8.04, the focus was on stability, to make sure the release could be supported actively for the longer, three year cycle. In the new 8.10 release, included with this magazine, stability is still important, but the focus is on adding interesting and valuable new features, pushing the envelope of expectations for the Linux desktop. Here are some highlights:

• just-released 2.24 edition of the GNOME desktop environment,
• File Roller, the GNOME default archive manager,
• X.Org 7.4, the newest edition of X.Org,
• Linux kernel 2.6.27,
• some long-expected and exciting features have been added to Network Manager 0.7.

There are two DVDs attached to this magazine. They each include the same basic contents, with one big difference. One DVD is for 32-bit installations, the other is for 64-bit installations.

Each DVD includes four versions of Ubuntu: Ubuntu Desktop, Kubuntu Desktop, Xubuntu Desktop and Mythbuntu Desktop. These ship as different distributions, but they each share a common base that has been configured for specific uses and preferences with software that best fits the intended use. You will want to decide which sounds the best for what you want to do.
