A few minutes ago, the Ubuntu development team unleashed the Release Candidate (RC) version of the upcoming Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) operating system, due for launch at the end of this month. As usual, we've downloaded a copy of it in order to keep you up-to-date with the latest changes in the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS development.

What's new in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS RC? Well, there's not much to talk about this release, except that Ubuntu 10.04 LTS RC is now powered by Linux kernel 2.6.32.11. You already know from our previous articles what new features will be included in the final release, expected next Thursday.

The Release Candidate is pretty stable and can be used as a daily operating system. Below, you can see how Ubuntu 10.04 LTS looks like and this is how it will look 7 days from now. We can definitely say that this is the first release with a black theme and Mac-style titlebar buttons!

I just don't think there've been enough weekly posts on Ubuntu 10.04 as its release-date becomes imminent /sarcasm

We really should do something about this, since there are obviously few topics nearly as newsworthy in mentioning at present as are anything to do with Lucid Lynx! :) /grin /grin -fb

@azer Hey, thanks for the good word :o) At least SOMEONE is listening here....yet ANOTHER Ubuntu post just after I wrote!

As fraternity pledges under initiation have to say, "Please sir, may I have another?"

You have inspired me, flufferbeer. I shall launch a series: "The Ubuntu 10.04 Series, in Excruciating Redundant Detail. Chapter 1: the Aubergine Chronicles. Chapter 2: Shut Up and Eat Your Buttons. Chapter 3: Wontfixever."

Be assured subsequent chapters will be equally riveting.

Hey you guys I like discussions on whether the 10.04 sound volume applet is ugly or not. /sarcasm

Careful guys and gals, wouldn't want anyone to attack you claiming that you guys are only attacking Ubuntu because you're Microsoft or Novell shills ;-)
