Ubuntu 6.10 family release candidates ship
Canonical Ltd. chief developer Tollef Fog Heen announced Thursday that the first release candidate for the upcoming Ubuntu 6.10 is now ready for testing. "Edgy Eft" features a 2.6.17 kernel and a GNOME desktop. The corresponding Kubuntu RC, of course, sports a KDE desktop.
The three release candidates include installable live desktop CDs, server images, alternate text-mode installation CDs, and an upgrade wizard for users of the current stable release, the project team said.
"We consider this release candidate to be complete, stable, and suitable for testing by any user," Fog Heen said. "The final release of version 6.10 is scheduled for 26 October 2006 and will be supported for 18 months on both desktops and servers."
