According the the upgrade site, Ubuntu/Kubuntu have been released as of today!

I'm really looking forward to the much-anticipated new version. 7.10, or Gutsy Gibbon, promises a 3-D desktop, a new version of KDE and the native ability to read and write NTFS drives. There's also a new video control panel that's supposed to make hand-editing config files a thing of the past.

Here's the official word on how to upgrade: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading

Let me know how your upgrade goes (if you're in the club;). I'll post again when I've finished my upgrade.

Update: Well, the suggested upgrade path (using Adept) didn't work. I'm now downloading the alternate CD for 7.10 and will try an upgrade from that...

Erik's Gravatar How did the upgrade go? Or is your silence because it did go at all?

Oliver Merk's Gravatar Unfortunately I couldn't get the upgrade to complete so I ended up backing up my data and installing a fresh copy. The only good thing to come out of it was that I got the chance to re-partition my drives in a more Linux-centric way.
Despite all the trouble, I'm very pleased with 7.10.
