Ubuntu 14.10 Alpha 1 发布

Ubuntu 是一份完整的桌面Linux操作系统，它可免费获得，并带有社团及专业的支持。Ubuntu社团按照Ubuntu宣言里所铭记的思想而组建：软件应免费提 供，软件工具应能以人们本地语种的形式可用且不牺牲任何功能，人们应拥有定制及改变他们软件的自由，这包括以任何他们认为适宜的方式。Ubuntu是一个 古非洲语单词，意指对他人的博爱。Ubuntu 发行将这种博爱之心带到了软件的世界中。

"A long time ago, when the Earth was green  There was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen  They'd run around free while the Earth was being born  And the loveliest of all was the unicorn."   - Shel Silverstein    The first alpha of the Utopic Unicorn (to become 14.10) has now been released!    This alpha features images for Kubuntu, Lubuntu Ubuntu GNOME,  UbuntuKylin and the Ubuntu Cloud images.    Pre-releases of the Utopic Unicorn 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 flavor developers and those who want to  help in testing, reporting and fixing bugs as we work towards getting  this release ready.    Alpha 1 includes a number of software updates that are ready for wider  testing. This is quite an early set of images, so you should expect some  bugs.    While these Alpha 1 images have been tested and work, except as noted in  the release notes, Ubuntu developers are continuing to improve the  Utopic Unicorn.  In particular, once newer daily images are available, system  installation bugs identified in the Alpha 1 installer should be verified  against the current daily image before being reported in Launchpad.  Using an obsolete image to re-report bugs that have already been fixed  wastes your time and the time of developers who are busy trying to make  14.10 the best Ubuntu release yet.  Always ensure your system is up to  date before reporting bugs.      Kubuntu:    Kubuntu is the KDE based flavour of Ubuntu. It uses the Plasma    desktop and includes a wide selection of tools from the KDE project.      Kubuntu development is now focussing on the next generation of KDE    Software, Plasma 5.  This is not yet stable enough for everyday use, so    we are still shipping the Plasma 1 desktop on our image which has been    updated to the latest version in the alpha.
