Ubuntu Linux是一份完整的桌面Linux操作系统，它可免费获得，并带有社团及专业的支持。Ubuntu社团按照Ubuntu宣言里所铭记的思想而组建：软 件应免费提供，软件工具应能以人们本地语种的形式可用且不牺牲任何功能，人们应拥有定制及改变他们软件的自由，这包括以任何他们认为适宜的方式。 Ubuntu是一个古非洲语单词，意指对他人的博爱。Ubuntu Linux发行将这种博爱之心带到了软件的世界中。
Steve Langasek announced the availability of the slightly delayed second alpha release of Ubuntu 8.10, code name "Intrepid Ibex": "Welcome to Intrepid Ibex Alpha-2, which will in time become Ubuntu 8.10. Pre-releases of Intrepid 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 2 is the second in a series of milestone CD images that will be released throughout the Intrepid 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 Intrepid." Read the release announcement and release notes for further details. The "alternate" installation images are available from mirrors: intrepid-alternate-i386.iso (697MB, MD5, torrent), intrepid-alternate-amd64.iso (696MB, MD5, torrent), along with "Server" ones. Also released: Kubuntu 8.10 Alpha 2 and Xubuntu 8.10 Alpha 2.
