开发版Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha 6

         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。

        Steve Langasek has announced the availability of the sixth alpha release of Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala": "Welcome to Karmic Koala Alpha 6, which will in time become Ubuntu 9.10." New features in this alpha include Upstart and Ubuntu Software Store: "As part of our boot performance work, we have now transitioned to Upstart. If you are testing on your primary machine, we strongly suggest having an Ubuntu Karmic alpha 5 live CD available, or creating an Alpha 5 USB start-up disk before doing an upgrade. Ubuntu Karmic Alpha 6 includes the Ubuntu Software Store. It is temporarily located under System, with a plan to replace AddRemove in the Beta release." See the release announcement and release notes for more information and known issues. Download (SHA256): karmic-desktop-i386.iso (694MB, torrent), karmic-desktop-amd64.iso (695MB, torrent).
