I promise I will only post one more show about Gutsy....Really! This week we had to give our thoughts on our installations of Gutsy and how we like it. As we mentioned in a prior podcast that we were downloading and installing while we were podcasting. Well, this week we would like to give you our first impressions on Gutsy. Meaning, we want to let you in on what we liked and what we didn't like. We, not surprisingly, had a lot to talk about and the podcast is a little long. I think I clocked it at just over one hour. That is a new record for us breaking a previous record of 45 minutes. We cover the whole gamut of things one could cover in release segment from the interface and the login sound file to the writable NTFS drives by default. We also are critical about a few things, notably, why they left out the compiz manager. One last note, i didn't get any new music this week, it is all recycled so there you have it, the next episode in a nutshell. Oh, and one last thing, from the oops I did it again department, I pronounced asterisk incorrectly, should be pronounced asterisk not asterix:) I think Peter blogged about this, too. Oh well, such is life. Lastly, next weeks podcast we are going to have some very special guests, namely Jay Watkins from the "in the trenches" podcast and David Yates from the "lottalinuxlinks" podcast. Looking forward to that one. Here are the links mentioned on the podcast.

Yes, I know it has been several days since the release of Gutsy Gibbon and I am finally coming out with the release episode of the podcast. What can I say? Well, first off, Peter and I were frantically downloading the new release, him during the podcast and I after the podcast. I mentioned that I was switching over to Xubuntu on my laptop ,and, I did, but quickly switched back to Ubuntu when I just couldn't handle the unfamiliarity. I will go back to Xubuntu perhaps mid-cycle so that more bugs can be fixed. My main problem was seeing other computers on the network. I fiddled around with it a few hours but couldn't get it to work so I decided it was in my best interest to put it aside for now and install Ubuntu. I have since done that and everything is back up to speed. I am interested in what you all have to say about the release so feel free to leave a comment in the blog, or you can send us an email to freshubuntu@gmail.org. Furthermore you can actually send a voicemail to 17752629332 if you have skypeout or gizmoproject with some minutes on it. Well, enjoy the podcast!

Well folks, it looks like progress cannot be stopped, at least not at Ubuntu-land. Tribe 2 has been released with some exciting new features, Compiz Fuzion, New Gnome, and New Firefox, just to mention a few. Here is the excerpt: Hello Ubuntu developers, welcome to Gutsy Gibbon Tribe 2, which will in time become Ubuntu 7.10. Pre-releases of Gutsy are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage.
