Revision as of 06:43, 29 August 2007

Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) is scheduled to be released in October 2007. Tribe 5 is the currently available. Status on a T60 can change until the release date.

Features

Graphical Configuration Tool

Some Thinkpad laptops ship with ATI video cards. Ubuntu 7.04 Open Source video drivers could be graphically configured with a minimal utility that allowed to to choose a single resolution. However, users could be compelled to use the non-free ATI video driver (Fglrx) because ATI shipped a more featureful utility, Catalyst Control Center. Gusty Gibbon now ships a more fully-featured utility, making the Open Source video drivers a more attractive choice.

Installation

Known Issues

Default Non-free Drivers

The Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG card requires drivers in the Restricted Repository which are non-free.
