Next version of Ubuntu announced

After releasing a new version of its Linux operating system this month, Manx-based Canonical Software isn't sitting back on its laurels.

The company, founded by Island resident Mark Shuttleworth, has announced further details of a forthcoming version, which is due out next year.

Ubuntu 12.04 will be codenamed Precise Pangolin, and will feature at a developer summit in Florida next week.

Precise Pangolin is to be released in April 2012, to replace Oneiric Ocelot which was unveiled on October 13.
