Development Release: Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 2 |
| Steve Langasek announced the availability of the slightly delayed second alpha release of Ubuntu 8.10, code name "Intrepid Ibex": "Welcome to Intrepid Ibex Alpha-2, which will in time become Ubuntu 8.10. Pre-releases of Intrepid are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs. Alpha 2 is the second in a series of milestone CD images that will be released throughout the Intrepid development cycle. The Alpha images are known to be reasonably free of showstopper CD build or installer bugs, while representing a very recent snapshot of Intrepid." Read the release announcement and release notes for further details. The "alternate" installation images are available from mirrors: intrepid-alternate-i386.iso (697MB, MD5, torrent), intrepid-alternate-amd64.iso (696MB, MD5, torrent), along with "Server" ones. Also released: Kubuntu 8.10 Alpha 2 and Xubuntu 8.10 Alpha 2. |

| About Ubuntu |
| Ubuntu is a complete desktop Linux operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. The Ubuntu community is built on the ideas enshrined in the Ubuntu Manifesto: that software should be available free of charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities, and that people should have the freedom to customise and alter their software in whatever way they see fit. "Ubuntu" is an ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others". The Ubuntu distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world. |
