We are pleased to announce yet another Ubuntu-based Linux distribution, this time... with "super powers," called Super Ubuntu. The "super powers" of Super Ubuntu can be translated into the inclusion of applications, tools and technologies that are missing from a standard Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) installation. Among the applications included in Super Ubuntu 2008.11 we can notice the powerful and ever-popular OpenOffice.org 3.0 open source office suite with support for Microsoft's Office 2007 file formats; MPlayer, the number one video player for Linux systems, which includes support for DVD playback and most of today's video and audio formats; Wine and Wine-Doors, two amazing apps that allow users to use Microsoft Windows applications in a Linux environment; support for portable applications with the SFS technology and Zero Install.

Super Ubuntu 2008.11 was also injected with all the multimedia codecs, Java technology, Adobe's Flash Player 10, PulseAudio, Compiz Fusion and UFW graphical user interfaces, better wireless network support and many other useful applications, such as Ubuntu Tweak, StartUp-Manager or Furius ISO Mount. Last but not least, Super Ubuntu 2008.11 includes extra software repositories from Medibuntu, OpenOffice.org 3, Opera, Playdeb, Ubuntu Tweak, Wine and Remastersys.
