Ubuntu 10.04 Release Candidate Is Here

Posted by Michael Larabel on April 22, 2010

For those interested, the release candidate of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is now available. All of the other distributions as part of the Ubuntu family (Kubuntu, Xubuntu, et al) have also been updated to their Lucid Lynx release candidate status.

The mailing list announcement with all of the download links can be found on the Ubuntu mailing list. By now most everyone should be familiar with Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx", so there is not much more to say. The final release of this Long-Term Support release is expected a week from today.
