And there's a subject-verb number mismatch in the same sentence. The 
subject is "family", not "variants, so the verb should be "reaches", not 
"reach," as in

"The Ubuntu 9.10 family of variants (Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, Ubuntu 
Studio, and Mythbuntu) also reaches RC status today."


Cheers,
Kyle
