news 28 Posted December 19, 2008 Hello Ubuntu developers, Welcome to Jaunty Jackalope Alpha-2, which will in time become Ubuntu 9.04. Pre-releases of Jaunty 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 Jaunty 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 Jaunty. You can download it here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/alpha-2/ (Ubuntu) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/jaunty/alpha-2/ (Kubuntu) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/jaunty/alpha-2/ (Xubuntu) See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors for a list of mirrors. Alpha 2 includes a number of software updates that are ready for large-scale testing. Please refer to http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/jaunty/alpha2 for information on changes in Ubuntu. This is quite an early set of images, so you should expect some bugs. For a list of known bugs (that you don't need to report if you encounter), please see: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/jaunty/alpha2 If you're interested in following the changes as we further develop Share this post Link to post
