Canonical releases Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha 3 !
Mar 04, 2011
As expected, Canonical has released a third alpha for Ubuntu 11.04, code named "Natty Narwhal". This development milestone is the last of three planned alpha releases, which will be followed by two betas – as previously previously reported, there will be no release candidate for Ubuntu 11.04. Natty Narwhal Alpha 3 is based on the 2.6.38-rc2 Linux kernel and features indicator improvements, as well a new look for the Unity Dash and a resize function. Ubuntu 11.04 sees Unity, as the distribution's new default desktop developed in-house by the Ubuntu developers, replacing the GNOME Shell and, as previously announced, the replacement of Oracle's open source OpenOffice.org office suite with the LibreOffice community fork. Package updates in the development preview include version 3.3.1 of LibreOffice, Firefox 4.0 Beta 12, version 2.13 of the Transmission BitTorrent client and Upstart 0.9.0 – version 1.0 of Upstart was released on 2 March. Other changes include updates
