Yep, that's it. I upgraded my Ubuntu box to the new 8.10 version. What's new? Well, I already found some very nice details, like the eject icon near every mountable device (like in Mac OS X), the shutdown button merged with the switch user button, and the most important one that I've noticed so far: for the first time I have out-of-the-box sound in my rear speakers, which means that probably significant improvements have been made to audio.

A new darker theme (which I talked about here) is also included, and a new wallpaper (ugly and brown as usual), a new screen resolution configuration utility, the new Xorg 7.4 and also tabbed file browsing.

Until now everything seems to work just fine after clicking on the "upgrade distro" button in the update manager. Let's wait and see and happens in the next few days.
