ShipIt comes to an end
Canonical has announced the end of the ShipIt program. As Gerry Carr explained on the Canonical blog:
It’s with some regret that we are announcing the end of the ShipIt Programme and the CD distributor programme. When we started ShipIt in 2005 broadband was still a marketing promise even in the most connected parts of the most developed nations. We knew that this represented a significant stumbling block to the adoption of a new technology like Ubuntu. So we invested in making the CDs free and freely delivered to anywhere in the world [...] but for Ubuntu 11.04 you will no longer be able to go to our website and apply for a free CD.
We are going to make large numbers of CDs available to the Ubuntu Local Communities (LoCos) through a shipIt-lite program.

C64 Returns!
It's back... and better than ever! The new Commodore 64 is a modern functional PC as close to the original in design as humanly possible. It houses a modern mini-ITX PC motherboard featuring a Dual Core 525 Atom processor and the latest nVidia ION2 graphics chipset. It comes in the original taupe brown/beige color, with other colors to follow.
Commodore OS 1.0, along with emulation functionality and classic game package, will be mailed to purchasers when available. In the meantime, units come with the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS operating system on CD ready to install.

GNOME 3 Released!
GNOME 3 was released on 6th April 2011. If you want to try it, you can run a live version from a CD/DVD or USB stick.
The 'live version' comes in both OpenSUSE and Fedora versions. No Ubuntu download though as Ubuntu, from 11.04, will come with its own Unity interface.
