Ubuntu 19.10 Eoan Ermine Beta released. Here is how to install Ubuntu 19.10. Upgrade Ubuntu 19.04 to Ubuntu 19.10 Systems.
The Ubuntu team is pleased to announce the beta pre-release of the Ubuntu 19.10 Desktop, Server, and Cloud products. Codenamed “Eoan Ermine”, 19.10 continues Ubuntu’s proud tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution. The team has been hard at work through this cycle, introducing new features and fixing bugs.
This beta release includes images from not only the Ubuntu Desktop, Server, and Cloud products, but also the Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, UbuntuKylin, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Studio, and Xubuntu flavours. The beta images are known to be reasonably free of showstopper CD build or installer bugs, while representing a very recent snapshot of 19.10 that should be representative of the features intended to ship with the final release expected on October 17th, 2019.
Ubuntu, Ubuntu Server, Cloud Images: Eoan Beta includes updated versions of most of our core set of packages, including a current 5.3 kernel, and much more.
