Ubuntu 18.10 "Cosmic Cuttlefish" Beta Released & Available for Download
The Ubuntu team is pleased to announce the final beta release of the Ubuntu 18.10 "Cosmic Cuttlefish" Desktop, Server and Cloud products.
Codenamed "Cosmic Cuttlefish", 18.10 continues Ubuntu's proud tradition
of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a
high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution. The team has been hard
at work through this cycle, introducing new features and fixing bugs.
This beta release includes images from not only the Ubuntu Desktop,
Server, and Cloud products, but also the Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu
Budgie, UbuntuKylin, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Studio, and Xubuntu flavours.
The beta images are known to be reasonably free of showstopper CD
build or installer bugs, while representing a very recent snapshot of
18.10 that should be representative of the features intended to ship
with the final release expected on October 18th, 2018.
Ubuntu 18.10 beta is packed with some of the most recent GNU/Linux technologies and Open Source software. It's powered by the latest Linux 4.18 kernel series, uses the GNOME 3.30 desktop environment, and ships with an up-to-date graphics stack based on Mesa 18.2.1. It also includes Firefox 62.0 and LibreOffice 6.1.
As expected, the official flavors include the latest software too. For example, Lubuntu 18.10 beta ships with the LXQt 0.13.0 desktop environment by default, and Ubuntu MATE 18.10 beta features the MATE 1.20.2 desktop environment. On the other hand, Kubuntu 18.10 beta comes with the KDE Plasma 5.13.5 desktop environment.
