Feisty Fawn brings a number of notable enhancements to the Linux desktop including a new Windows desktop migration tool. When installing Ubuntu next to Windows in a dual boot, the migration tool can detect that and import bookmarks, files and more, making it easier to migrate from Windows.

The latest version of Ubuntu also features easy-to-install multimedia codecs. To get around legal restrictions in various countries the Feisty team has implemented some guided install wizards for those wanting to add codecs.

The other noteworthy feature of the new release is a revamped wireless tool by the name of Avahi. When joining a wireless network, Avahi automatically discovers publicly available machines on that network making it easy to access printers, music and more.

The servers have been heavily burdened for most of the weekend and I just now was able to get the torrent file for the Kubuntu 7.04 DVD. I have been running the beta for a few weeks now with only a couple of minor issues, probably due to some specific hardware I’m using.

Here’s the links to the download severs:
