Ubuntu 11.10 “Oneiric Ocelot” Alpha 3 Is Released

Pre-releases of Oneiric Ocelot 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 developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs.


Alpha 3 is the second in a series of milestone images that will be released throughout the Oneiric development cycle.

This milestone sees the introduction of some new images that will be part of the 11.10 release.
– a new flavor, Lubuntu, has been added.
– a new minimal root file system, Ubuntu Core, for arm.
