“While Ubuntu fans out there still discover and enjoy
the brand-new Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) operating system,
somewhere deep in the Ubuntu headquarters, the Canonical developers
are working on the next major update for their popular Linux
distribution. Therefore, we announce today that the first Alpha
version of the upcoming Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) operating
system was released a few minutes ago. As usual, we’ve downloaded a
copy of it in order to keep you up-to-date with the latest changes
in the Ubuntu 10.10 development.“Editor’s note: I would like to inform you that the release
schedule has been changed again to 3 Alpha releases, one Beta
version, and a Release Candidate. Because of this, the final
release of Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) will be available
sooner, on Sunday, October 10th, 2010!”
