They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs. 21:09 < johnc4510> . 21:09 < johnc4510> Alpha 3 is the third in a series of milestone CD images that will be released throughout the Karmic development cycle. The Alpha images are known to be reasonably free of show-stopper CD build or installer bugs, while representing a very recent snapshot of Karmic. You can download it here: Ubuntu: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/alpha-3/ 21:10 < johnc4510> Kubuntu: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/karmic/alpha-3/ 21:10 < johnc4510> Xubuntu: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/karmic/alpha-3/ 21:10 < johnc4510> Ubuntu Studio: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/karmic/alpha-3/ 21:10 < johnc4510> . 21:10 < tyche> (It's so nice that johnc4510 has the UWN to steal material from.

The Canonical Launchpad developers will be on IRC in channel #launchpad-dev on irc.freenode.net.
