The Ubuntu team has released the first alpha Tonight 10/10 Ubuntu code name "Maverick Meerkat, a month after the release of the final version of Ubuntu 4.10 , and even ahead of schedule.
The maverick meerkat (meerkat rebel literally, like Timon, Pumbaa's compere, in "The Lion King") is an African mammal whose main characteristics reflect the ambitions of the next release: "The meerkats are light, fast and sociable "explains Mark Shuttleworth, former CEO of the publisher Canonical, on its website . And to bid: "Now that the major version is available we have a good scope to disrupt things a bit, hence the notion of rebellion?
Ubuntu 10.10 will be an opportunity to upgrade the interface for Ubuntu Netbook Edition. This distribution has actually aims to keep the world connected, anytime and anywhere, becoming "by far" the best OS for netbooks, especially before Chrome OS. To do this, Maverick Meerkat promises startup time shortest, the fastest internet browser and a fuller integration of social networks, with a unified system similar to that of some smartphones.
The "Alpha 1" did not aim to integrate new features, but it aims to test the new kernel, which passes for the occasion in version 2.6.34, on a wide variety of material. The first alpha mark however the kickoff of a development cycle that includes multiple steps until the publication of the final version.
A second and a third will follow either the Alpha 1 July and 5 August. Beta One is for Time, September 2, a previous release candidate of the same 30 months for publishing a final version October 28, 2010 ... And not the 10/10/10, unless an unexpected reversal.
