"This article will briefly discuss the new features found within Gutsy Gibbon and hopefully give you a better idea of what to expect when the final version of Gutsy Gibbons is released in October. Some of the more notable new features are a Graphical Configuration tool for X, improvements in plug-in handling for Mozilla Firefox, revamped printing system with PDF printing by default, fast user switching, new desktop search (Tracker) application and the new AppArmor security framework."

Ive been using Gutsy since the 3rd alpha and must say that it really is shaping up to be a great distro. Few would reckon that its even that far from reaching feature parity with some of the heavyweight proprietary OS's. I did notice in the article that there is little mention of the benefits of the new Xorg and Gnome versions included in Gutsy. The fonts look even better, the wait cursor looks 10x better, it seems there are many tiny improvements everywhere you look. Easing the configuration of printer's has always been a necessary goal of any desktop linux distro, Gutsy seems to pull it off rather well (with my Samsung ML-2010 anyways). Keep your eyes peeled for this one, it should be a worthy replacement for Feisty.
