The final release of Karmic Koala comes out in a week. Of all the variants of Karmic Koala coming out, Ubuntu is undoubtably the most well know with the largest userbase. In this article, we look at all the official variants of Karmic Koala (including Ubuntu) so that it may help the newbies to see what are the options available.

Yes, after six months down the road, it's time to gear up for the newly born Ubuntu baby again. This time, Ubuntu 9.10, codenamed Karmic Koala, will be officially released on 29th Oct 2009.

One of the major goals of Ubuntu Karmic Koala outlined in Mark Shuttleworth's recent announcement is a new look for Ubuntu, something that has been requested a lot.
