They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs. Alpha 1 is the first in a series of milestone CD images that will be released throughout the Maverick 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 Maverick. You can download it here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/maverick/alpha-1/ (Ubuntu) http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/maverick/alpha-1/ (Ubuntu Server for UEC and EC2) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/maverick/alpha-1/ (Kubuntu) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/maverick/alpha-1/ (Xubuntu) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/maverick/alpha-1/ (Ubuntu Studio) See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors for a list of mirrors. Alpha 1 includes a number of software updates that are ready for wider testing. Please refer to http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/maverick/alpha1 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/maverick/alpha1 If you're interested in following the changes as we further develop Share this post Link to post
