Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 6

Steve Langasek has announced the availability of the sixth and final alpha release of Ubuntu 9.04: "Welcome to Jaunty Jackalope Alpha 6, which will in time become Ubuntu 9.04." Not much information is available on this release; in fact, both the release announcement and release notesare almost exactly the same as for alpha 5. The only difference is thenumber of known issues - with alpha 6, two of the seven known issueshave been resolved, including the bug where the installer fails to tellthe kernel to reload the partition table during partitioning and theOEM configuration failure. But the "encrypted home directory" featurein the installer is still disabled and the new X.Org Server 1.6 stilldoesn't support the proprietary ATI driver. If you are still interestedin testing the new release, download (MD5) the live CD images from here: jaunty-desktop-i386.iso (698MB, torrent), jaunty-desktop-amd64.iso (693MB, torrent). The other members of the Ubuntu family have also entered alpha 6: Kubuntu (release notes, download), Xubuntu (download), Ubuntu Studio (download) and Mythbuntu (download).
