Ubuntu 9.10 released

[news 28]

The Ubuntu team is pleased to announce Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop and Server

editions, Ubuntu 9.10 Server for Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC) and Amazon's

EC2, and Ubuntu Netbook Remix, continuing Ubuntu's tradition of integrating

the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality,

easy-to-use Linux distribution.

Desktop edition http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-910

Server edition http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-910-server-edition

 

Ubuntu 9.10 will be supported for 18 months on both desktops and servers.

Users requiring a longer support lifetime on the server may choose to

continue using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, with security support until 2013, rather

than upgrading to 9.10.

 

Thanks to the efforts of the global translation community, Ubuntu is

available in 25 languages. For a list of supported languages and detailed

translation statistics for these and other languages, see:
