news 28 Posted August 13, 2009 Hello Ubuntu developers, Welcome to Karmic Koala Alpha 4, which will in time become Ubuntu 9.10. Pre-releases of Karmic 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 4 is the fourth in a series of milestone CD images that will be released throughout the Karmic 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 Karmic. You can download it here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/alpha-4/ (Ubuntu) http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/alpha-4/ (Ubuntu Server UEC) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/karmic/alpha-4/ (Kubuntu) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/karmic/alpha-4/ (Xubuntu) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/karmic/alpha-4 (Ubuntu Studio) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/mythbuntu/releases/karmic/alpha-4/ (Mythbuntu) See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors for a list of mirrors. Alpha 4 introduces the first Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud alpha images for Karmic. Information on using these images on your UEC instance or on Amazon EC2 can be found at the download page at: http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/alpha-4/ Alpha 4 also includes a number of software updates that are ready for large-scale testing. Please refer to http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha4 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/karmic/alpha4 If you're interested in following the changes as we further develop Share this post Link to post
