Until today, the development of ubuntuBSD took place under the 15.10 version number, which means that it was based on the Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), whose end of life support is approaching very fast (sometime next month). But it looks like the developer, Jon Boden, has been working hard in the past few weeks to rebase the upcoming OS on Canonical’s latest distribution, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus), as well as the kernel from FreeBSD 10.3.
