The first development snapshot for the forthcoming release of Ubuntu 8.10 (codenamed Intrepid Ibex) is coming out two weeks late — likely due to Canonical’s focus on getting the Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS update out next week — but what matters is that it’s finally here. Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 1 is far from meeting the quality standards for end-users (there isn’t even a desktop LiveCD spin of this release), but that didn’t stop us from playing with this latest build from the Canonical camp. In this article we are looking at the few changes in the Intrepid Alpha 1 release for Ubuntu and Kubuntu as well as looking at some of the changes they have planned before this release goes gold in October.
