Effective immediately, the new release of Ubuntu, 17.10, aka 'Artful Aardvark' has been released!

This release will be supported for 9 months (until 2018) for Long Term Support, stick with release 16.04, instead.

Official flavors (e.g. Kubuntu) are also released.

See the above release notes for a full list of changes and where you can get a copy.

[Full disclosure: the majority of SoylentNews' servers run Ubuntu 16.04 LTS though we have taken steps towards moving to Gentoo.]

Also:

The customized version of GNOME that Ubuntu 17.10 uses is very much in the mould of the (now defunct) Unity desktop, so it won't be to everyone's tastes.

    Having come back around to Artful Aardvark, here's a memory test:

    Among the alliterative pairs, which letters were used twice and which weren't used at all the first time through the alphabet?

    To ask it a different way, what were the names of the first 4 releases?

    Warty Warthog, Hoary Hedgehog, Breezy Badger, Dapper Drake

    So the 18.04 LTS (which I would wait for and not install betaware) will be codenamed Bashful Bear or Basking Baboon? Followed by Cunning Centipede, Darting Deer, ...

          The lawyers say we have to keep Kermit out of it. Don't want to give them the idea that there's royalties to be collected if they send in the goon squad.
