Ubuntu 5.10RC (Release Candidate)

Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 10/06/2005 09:14 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

Ubuntu 5.10RC (Release Candidate) has been released:

With just one more week to go before the final release of Ubuntu 5.10, the Ubuntu team is proud to announce the Ubuntu 5.10 Release Candidate. This is the final milestone before the official 5.10 release, and includes installation CDs, live CDs, and combination DVDs for three architectures.




Ubuntu is a Linux distribution for your desktop or server, with a fast and easy install, regular releases, a tight selection of excellent packages installed by default, every other package you can imagine available from the network, a commitment to security updates for 18 months after each release and professional technical support from many companies around the world.

To Get Ubuntu 5.10RC
--------------------

Download Ubuntu 5.10RC here (choose the mirror closest to you):

United States:
http://us.releases.ubuntu.com/releases/5.10/

Europe:
http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/5.10/

United Kingdom:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/5.10/

Rest of the World:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/5.10/

Note: these release candidate CD images are larger than 650 megabytes, and
require CD media with sufficient capacity.

Please download using Bittorrent if possible.

The final version of Ubuntu 5.10 will be released on October 13th. At that time, we will mail pressed CDs free of charge. To receive a complimentary copy of the Official Breezy Badger CD -- or a handful of them to give to your friends, your school or LUG -- place your request at the URL below. Remember that these CDs won't ship until after the final release.
