Get Ubuntu GNOME Remix 12.10

Download Alpha 2

This release is for developers only. The Ubuntu Desktop images are now bigger than a standard CD, and you should use a USB or DVD for installation.

You can download a torrent of the Alpha 2 ISOs below:

GNOME and the Academic Computer Club UmeƄ University have graciously provided the following standard downloads temporarily. Please use the torrents if possible as they can provide faster download speeds and are less of a burden on the servers.

Jeremy Bicha is providing another standard download mirror:

Images have been produced for 32-bit and 64-bit PCs. Neither ARM nor amd64+mac images will be available unless dedicated testers will volunteer to certify the official Ubuntu alpha/beta/release milestones.

The next planned milestone is Beta, scheduled for the same week as Ubuntu 12.10 Beta 2 (September 27).
