The next release will be 10.10 Maverick Meerkat, to be released on October 10, 2010 (10/10/10). apparently, the beta's out now. Canonical and the Ubuntu developers have issued a beta version 10.10 of Ubuntu, code-named Maverick Meerkat. This development milestone is the first and only planned beta release and will be followed by a release candidate on the 30th of September. http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Canonical-releases-Ubuntu-10-10-Beta-1071945.html -- regards, jr. time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana. -- Next meeting: Blandford Forum, Tuesday 2010-09-07 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://bit.ly/4sACa
