The first test version of the new Ubuntu release has been released. The fact that in October will be Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon now has the code name Ubuntu Tribe 1 and is available for download. The main innovations are the use of the kernel 2.6.22-rc3 and Gnome 2.19.2, which shows that the kernel 2.6.22 will enter at 7.10 (2.6.22 is unlikely to be released by 2.6.23 :)) and Gnome 2.20.x.
