Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) Makes a First Appearance

Posted by timothy on from the depends-what-you-want-to-produce dept.

srimadman writes "The Alpha 1 Release of Ubuntu 11.04, often known as 'Natty Narwhal,' is intended as a developer snapshot of the next major Ubuntu version, which is due in April." So, if you want to try Unity and Wayland before your neighbors do, this is the time.

    I so hoped they would go with the suggestion from the guy over at LinuxHaters blog: Ubuntu 11 - "Naughty Nutgoblin". Seriously, who comes up with those naming schemes?

      After "Aa" we'd go to "Ab" (Aborted Abalone?). By the time we need to deal with "Bb", Hurd should be a viable competitor to Linux.

    Is it really that hard to include a link to Ubuntu's official Alpha 1 page, http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/maverick/alpha1 ?

    Yes, apparently. Natty Narwhal Alpha 1

    You make a compelling point there.

    Maybe I should become a /. editor, since I already seem to have the vital skills :D
