Ubuntu releases version 7.0.4, code-named Feisty fawn, last Thursday. This same code-base becomes the basis for Kubuntu, a KDE-based Ubuntu version, and Edubuntu, Ubuntu for Education (see image).

This new release also introduces Sun's products as part of the package. Sun included Netbeans 5.5, Java 6, GlassFish Java Application Server and Java DB. Java application development became first class citizen on Ubuntu. Being one of the Sun Java Champions, I welcome this new addition.

If only I can install Ubuntu 7.0.4 as a guest OS on Parallels Desktop running on my Mac OS X.
