Wow, thirty seconds?? You are kidding, right? By the way, there is no Ubuntu 7.1. It's 7.10, that is seven point ten as in the year 2007 and the month october. The Ubuntu version numbers tells you when the version was released, like 6.06 LTS was released in june 2006 and so on. Next version seems to be 8.04 and yes, it's planned to be released in april 2008. Ok, sorry for the Off Topic thing there, just wanted to inform a bit there... J.R.
