You also have the option to resize existing
partitions on your disk during installation (a very handy feature if you have a hard disk with
only one big Windows partition that you don??™t want to completely delete).
Ubuntu as a Desktop
As promised, Ubuntu 7.10 contains the latest desktop features available at the time it was released.
Along with the latest desktop components you would expect (GNOME, OpenOffice.org, and so
on), Ubuntu 7.10 also includes improved features for installing applications and customizing the
desktop experience. Here are some of the features in Ubuntu 7.10:
GNOME Desktop??”GNOME 2.20 provides the desktop environment for this release of
Ubuntu. Ubuntu??™s default desktop theme, Human, is a calm, brown theme in keeping
with the standard Ubuntu color scheme.
PDF File Generator??”A virtual PDF printer is now created by default that allows you to
print to PDF files from applications that do not include native PDF support.

Extension Manager integration is now included.
Tracker Search Tool??”You can now find documents, photos, music, chat logs, and all
other types of files quickly.
Evolution??”The Evolution e-mail and personal information manager (PIM) continues to
improve, making it easy to manage e-mail, calendars, appointments, tasks, and contacts
from a single application.
