Hey everyone! Today is an exciting day for Ubuntu fans; version 7.04 - the "Feisty Fawn" - was released today! The US mirrors are currently swamped, but I'm getting a good download rate from TUDelft in the Netherlands. Check it out at www.ubuntu.com
Another bit of Linux news I wanted to make sure everybody had heard about is the 'Tux 500' campaign. The guys at lobby4linux.com are trying to get Linux users to raise enough money to sponsor a car in the Indy 500 coming up this summer. They are hoping to raise awareness about Linux with the public. Right now the biggest obstacle to the growth of Linux is that the average computer user does not know about it - and with no hefty licensing fees, Linux distros's can't exactly advertise. If you'd like to read more about it, check them out at www.tux500.com <http://www.tux500.com/> . The neat thing is this is not targeted at any particular distro - it's Linux as a whole. I really hope they raise enough money to do this. Please pass the word along to any of your linux buddies out there. - Justin Walker
