Hello Ubuntu developers,

Welcome to Karmic Koala Alpha-3, which will in time become Ubuntu 9.10.

Pre-releases of Karmic are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable
system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even
frequent breakage.  They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and
those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs.

Alpha 3 is the third in a series of milestone CD images that will be
released throughout the Karmic development cycle.  The Alpha images are
known to be reasonably free of showstopper CD build or installer bugs, while
representing a very recent snapshot of Karmic. You can download it here:

  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/alpha-3/ (Ubuntu)
  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/karmic/alpha-3/ (Kubuntu)
  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/karmic/alpha-3/ (Xubuntu)
  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/karmic/alpha-3/ (Ubuntu Studio)

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors for a list of mirrors.

Alpha 3 includes a number of software updates that are ready for large-scale
testing.  This is quite an early set of images, so you should expect some bugs.
For an overview of new features and a list of known bugs (that you don't need
to report if you encounter).

For Ubuntu please see:

For Kubuntu please see:

If you're interested in following the changes as we further develop
Karmic, have a look at the karmic-changes mailing list:

  http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/karmic-changes

We also suggest that you subscribe to the ubuntu-devel-announce list
if you're interested in following Ubuntu development. This is a
low-traffic list (a few posts a week) carrying announcements of
approved specifications, policy changes, alpha releases, and other
interesting events.

Bug reports should go to the Ubuntu bug tracker:

  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs

Enjoy,
