ubuntu 10:10

Some time ago a group of hyper-intelligent pan dimensional beings

decided to finally answer the great question of Life, The Universe and

Everything.  To this end, a small band of these Debians built an

incredibly powerful distribution, Ubuntu. After this great computer

programme had run (a very quick 3 million minutes...or 6 years) the

answer was announced.  The Ultimate answer to Life, the Universe and

Everything is...42, and in its' purest form 101010.  Which suggests that

what you really need to know is 'What was the Question?'.  The great

distribution kindly pointed out that what the problem really was that

no-one knew the question. Accordingly, the distribution designed a set

of successors, marked by a circle of friends...to ultimately bring Unity

to all things living...Ubuntu 10.10, to find the question to the

ultimate answer.



And with that, the Ubuntu team is pleased to announce Ubuntu 10.10.

Codenamed "Maverick Meerkat", 10.10 continues Ubuntu's proud tradition

of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a

high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution.
