Ubuntu 11.04
Now you can download and install the new Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) from here. Although this is a beta 2 version, the final product will be available on the 28th of April according to Ubuntu website.
The installation is pretty much straight foreword and as easy as the previous Ubuntu releases.
The first thing you will notice in the new Gnome desktop is the Ubuntu Unity look (see picture above). It is a little bit different than what Ubuntu users used to have.
