开发版Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha 5

        Ubuntu Linux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 Linux发行将这种博爱之心带到了软件的世界中。

        The fifth alpha release of Ubuntu 9.10, code name "Karmic Koala", is out and ready for testing: "Welcome to Karmic Koala Alpha 5, which will in time become Ubuntu 9.10." The standard release announcement contains no new information while the release notes have been slightly updated to reflect the introduction of a new development version of GNOME (2.27.91 as opposed to 2.27.4 in Alpha 4) and a newer kernel (version 2.26.31-rc8 updated from 2.26.31-rc5 in Alpha 4). Otherwise they contain the same feature list as the previous release notes: updated packages, Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, a new file sharing service, new Intel video driver architecture, GCC 4.4 as the default compiler, ext4 as the default file system and GRUB 2 as the default bootloader. Those interested in testing the new build can download (SHA256) the desktop live CD images from here: karmic-desktop-i386.iso (696MB, torrent), karmic-desktop-amd64.iso (698MB, torrent). Besides Ubuntu, "Karmic Koala" Alpha 5 images for Kubuntu (download, release notes), Xubuntu (download) and Mythbuntu (download) are also available.
