The Ubuntu team is pleased to announce Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Long-Term Support). This release incorporates the Desktop Edition and the Server Edition. The Server Edition can be used on physical servers, on Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC), and on Amazon’s EC2 public cloud. Codenamed “Lucid Lynx”, 10.04 LTS continues Ubuntu’s proud tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution.

The second beta of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) has just been released, for even more greek-letter-y goodness than the first. See http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/lucid/beta2 for a list of mirrors, so you can help participate in testing for the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS final release.
