[ubuntu-in] Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS Is Available for Download

[Marius Nestor]

Hi people,

Yes, I am not a bot, and I am deeply sorry to consider my Ubuntu 
articles "spam". I thought it will be nice to inform users about what's 
new in the Ubuntu world.

I will not post here anymore, if you guys don't want to see Softpedia 
articles anymore.

Best regards,

Marius Nestor
