Tech Drive-In posted a quick review on Ubuntu 11.10 Oneric Ocelot Alpha 3

With the release of latest Alpha 3 version, Ubuntu 11.10 is a hugely transformed distro now. A number of silly bugs that we pointed out in our earlier Ubuntu 11.10 Alpha 2 review has almost completely vanished. Ubuntu 11.10 Alpha 3 comes with Linux Kernel  3.0.0-7, Nautilus 3.1.4, Ubuntu Software Center 4.1.11, Banshee 2.1.0, Thunderbird 6.0, Firefox 6 from Mozilla beta channel, Unity 4.6.0 and GNOME Shell 3.1.3(it's in the repositories, not installed as default).

There were indications of a faster Unity UI in the earlier Alpha release itself, now it is becoming rather apparent. Unity is becoming faster, sleeker and snappier with each new release. But that doesn't mean that this latest alpha release is devoid of any bugs and imperfections. As a matter of fact, there are plenty of them.
