Tollef Fog Heen has announced the third alpha release (also referred to as "Knot CD") of
Ubuntu
6.10: "Welcome to Edgy Eft Knot 3. The primary changes from Knot 2 have been finalising of feature goals and bugfixing. Common to all variants, we have changed the init system from the venerable sysvinit to upstart which is an event-driven init script system. In addition, all derivatives have new artwork, both for usplash as well as for login managers and default backgrounds. In Ubuntu, GNOME has been updated to 2.16.0. In Kubuntu, Konversation 1.0 has been included. For Xubuntu, the XFce core applications have been upgraded to 4.4 release candidate 1." Read the
