Canonical, the developers behind Ubuntu Linux have release Intrepid Ibex, the successor to last spring's Hardy Heron release. Ibex isn't a long-term support release - which might put off some large organizations - but for Ubuntu desktop fans, version 8.10 makes a worthwhile upgrade.If you made the leap to Ubuntu 8.10 when it was released last week you may be scratching your head wondering what the fuss is about. The answer is that it might be a few days before you appreciate the small tweaks and overall streamlining in this release. Naturally, there are a slew of new and updated packages - GNOME 2.24, GIMP 2.6, and more - but much of what we love about 8.10 is more subtle.
That said, there are two major changes likely to have an impact on almost all users - the updated NetworkManager app and the new X.org 0.7.
The way you see it after the "via" is how it's been done now for many months.
Like this one Review: Ubuntu 8.10, 3G tethering works very well
Or a link like this News source link GIMP 2.6.1
But you are probably right and I guess I just miss the old "Read more" links
