Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) Screenshot Tour

Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) is now officially available for download, so we’re taking a closer look at the latest operating system from Canonical.

This latest version of Ubuntu, 13.10, was supposed to integrate Mir, the new display server from Canonical, but last minute problems forced the developers to drop it for now.

Even without Mir, Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) still features quite a few improvements, such as a new Linux kernel, Unity 7, improves Dash search, Ubuntu One integration, and a lot more changes under the hood.

According to the developers, [Ubuntu][4] 13.10 includes the 3.11.0-12.19 Ubuntu Linux kernel which is based on the v3.11.3 upstream Linux kernel. Also, the distribution will only be supported for 9 months. Non-LTS releases prior to Ubuntu 13.04 were supported for 18 months.
