Canonical remains on course to deliver the next major Ubuntu release, 10.10 aka “Maverick Meerkat,” on October 10, having reached the final development milestone: the Release Candidate. The London-based outfit has announced the Release Candidate for Ubuntu 10.10, which is “complete, stable, and suitable” apart from minor bugs that will be fixed before the final release.
The RC features version 2.32 of the GNOME desktop environment, a faster and cleaner boot process, and a vastly improved Software Center. The whole list of new features can be found here.
“Codenamed “Maverick Meerkat”, 10.10 continues Ubuntu’s proud tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution,” Canonical said in the announcement.

When it comes out, I'll d/l it and burn a copy. If I don't get 'out of scan range' on my monitor when booting it, maybe I'll check it out. If I do, I won't.

I'm currently using UberStudent 1 and I look forward to taking Ubuntu 10.10 out for a spin on Oct 10th.
Does anyone know if they are releasing Ubuntu 10.10 at midnight on Oct 10th Local London Time? If so that means here in Arizona I'll be downloading 10.10 sometime on Oct 9th in the early afternoon.
