> Hello Ubuntu developers,
>
> Welcome to Karmic Koala Alpha 5, 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 5 is the fifth 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:

> Alpha 5 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 a list of known bugs (that you don't need to report if you
> encounter), please see:

> approved specifications, policy changes, alpha releases, and other
> interesting events.
