Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu "Welcome to Gutsy Gibbon Tribe 1 [screenshots], which will in time become Ubuntu 7.10. Tribe 1 is the first in a series of milestone CD images that will be released throughout the Gutsy development cycle. The primary changes from Feisty have been the re-merging of changes from Debian. Common to all variants, we have upgraded the kernel to 2.6.22." On a related note, Ubuntu has released more details on its version for mobile devices.

I don't see the point in screenshots in these articles either. Stock GNOME is always stock GNOME ;) maybe they change colorscheme(wich they did'nt:)), but is it worth a whole series of screenshots? ONE reason would be if they put in some nice GUI tools they want to show off, but most often it is the usual, with the clean desktop, some dialog, some OO.o shots, a firefox/konqi web-browsing shot.. same with KDE distros as well, this was not a rant on only GNOME distros ;)

Yeah, that's what I mean. If there's nothing especially new in terms of GUI appearance, screenshots are kinda pointless. And frankly, they get my hopes up!

Afterall, nobody loves new GUI eye candy more than me!

Right, but if there was something really cool to see the screenshots become very handy. It's not the screenshots' fault that Ubuntu always looks the same.

Well, they aren't new if you have Ubuntu 7.04.
But they are very important for people new to linux/ubuntu.
