Ubuntu 12.10 released

[D. Hugh Redelmeier]

Even before you get it, you might notice some changes:

- no longer a CD version.  Or a version that fits on a CD.

- no longer a DVD version.  There used to be a larger version that 
  exploited more of a DVD's .  Now the standard desktop version
  is too big for a CD but only slightly so.

- the download site asks you for money.  Suggestion: $16.  If you select 
  $0 (which takes filling in 8 fields) it shows you a skull.

- there are folks grumbling about Ubuntu's capturing and mining data about 
  users.  In particular, apparently desktop search is merged with web 
  search and it goes through Canonical.

I seem to have an old but growing culture clash with Canonical.
