The initial sentence is a bit long and hard to scan.  Can we just say,
"...announce the release of Ubuntu 10.10 Beta" (the subsequent paragraphs
explain the various products included in the release).

I've been thinking we ought to have a simple name for "the portfolio of
Ubuntu products which get released every six months", but I don't have one
yet.

The section "Ubuntu" should probably be "Ubuntu Desktop Edition".  It seems
to be missing a section for Server Edition.  The desktop and netbook
sections have placeholder comments indicating they probably need updating.
