> Some time ago a group of hyper-intelligent pan dimensional beings
> decided to finally answer the great question of Life, The Universe and
> Everything.  To this end, a small band of these Debians built an
> incredibly powerful distribution, Ubuntu. After this great computer
> programme had run (a very quick 3 million minutes...or 6 years) the
> answer was announced.  The Ultimate answer to Life, the Universe and
> Everything is...42, and in its' purest form 101010.  Which suggests that
> what you really need to know is 'What was the Question?'.  The great
> distribution kindly pointed out that what the problem really was that
> no-one knew the question. Accordingly, the distribution designed a set
> of successors, marked by a circle of friends...to ultimately bring Unity
> to all things living...Ubuntu 10.10, to find the question to the
> ultimate answer.
> 
> And with that, the Ubuntu team is pleased to announce Ubuntu 10.10.
> Codenamed "Maverick Meerkat", 10.10 continues Ubuntu's proud tradition
> of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a
> high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution.
