Ubuntu 11.10 is out and has been \"in the wild\" for a couple days now. (Yes, I\'m a master of stating the obvious.) One of the highlights (for me) of an Ubuntu release is watching and analyzing what the non-Ubuntu online media is saying.

Here\'s what I\'ve spotted so far: The OStatic blog reports that Ubuntu 11.10 hype is everywhere and inescapable. Evidently, there\'s not a website on earth that isn\'t reporting on the release and hoping to \"cash in\" on the mania. Likely a slight exaggeration, but great buzz!

He fixates on the lack of a Gnome desktop. He\'s not happy with Thunderbird as the new email client either. Hmmm. Not a lot of love in this articl
