The latest version of Edgy Eft, the next Ubuntu release, is now available for download. As per the usual development process, this is a pre-release in which special care has been taken to make all the components work as an installable distribution, although it’s still very much for testing only. Effectively this is an alpha release of the final product, which is due in October.

A quick look through the list of new features reveals some pretty impressive stuff. We have the likes of Compiz implemented on AIGLX, which is implemented by default. Yet in addition to the exciting stuff, it seems Edgy Eft is also refining the already very good Ubuntu user experience.

All of which is pretty damn cool. More than any other distro, the Ubuntu people “get it”—they really understand what it takes to get Linux on the desktop. Frankly, I can’t wait for the final release!
