No date? No problem. In case you have nothing planned as 2015 dovetails into 2016 on the final day of this month, Ubuntu has you covered. According to an article in Softpedia, the first alpha for Ubuntu 16.04 — bestowed with the release name handed down by The Mark as “Xenial Xerus,” for those of you keeping score at home — will be released on December 31, just in time for the lighted ball to fall in Times Square before the strains of “Auld Lang Syne” waft through the air. Enjoy the holiday!
