Bang on target, the new version of Ubuntu Linux is available for our downloading pleasure. Amongst various changes it sports updates to the installer, improved networking, and a new 'Mobile USB' version geared towards the blossoming netbook market. Grab a copy from the Ubuntu website, and check out Linux Format's hands-on look. Or the one at Simple Thoughts. Or the one at PolishLinux. And probably a few other websites as well.

If you can bear with a scratch install, use the torrent. It's way more social, anyways... avoiding to piss off the ubuntu mirror providers and leaving the mirrors for the people who cannot fetch from torrents.

If it helps, those who need to download the ISOs, I have opened up one of my Dedicated Boxes. The ISOs can be downloaded from http://Ubuntu8.pAsM-Mirrors.com . I uploaded the iso and tested a download, it took only 34 minutes. Happy Downloading
