Not two weeks have gone by since Absolute 12.0.6 got released yet there’s a new Aboslute 12.0.7 ready to go.

You can read a bit about this Slackware-based distro’s general features in my post from two weeks ago. The new stuff is mainly about fixing bugs and improving usability (such as enabling users other than root to write on external mounted filesystems, GUI dependencies, a new PDF viewer and a Firefox upgrade).You can also have a look at Paul Sherman’s announcement in the Absolute Linux Forum.

We are barely a week from the Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon’s release date.

A beta version came out about a week ago, and there’s now an stable release candidate. New features include:

• Compiz Fusion.
• Free flash support: through Gnash, the Gnome flash player plugin. This one is a bit of a preview.
• Automatic printer installation.
• Automatic Firefox plugin installation.

KDE users will find a bunch of new stuff in Kubuntu as well, including a few nice glimpses into KDE 4.0. More about Kubuntu 7.10 here.
