Ubuntu 10.10, due for release this Sunday, adds a lot of little things here and there to the Linux system, but also some entirely new, great stuff. Here are the most useful and impressive new features in "Maverick Meerkat."

The last Ubuntu release, 10.04 "Lucid Lynx," was a "Long Term Support" release. That means it will be supported as a more stable and steady version for further into the future than other releases, and also brings in more new features. This release, 10.10, is more about iterative improvements to the core apps, like the GNOME desktop, the default Firefox browser, and other odds and ends.
Then again, in an era where you can do 90 percent of your work through a browser window, Ubuntu needs polish, usability, compatibility, and a likable look and feel more than anything. With Windows 7, Microsoft's dominant OS is no longer the big, obvious heavy it once was, at least from the software design standpoint. The best reason for the average user to make the effort to install Ubuntu, either as a dual-boot option or your primary workspace, is that it can be a fast-booting, web-friendly, compatible system that's free, both in price and licensing terms.
