Kubuntu 13.04 Alpha 1 發布，用戶友好的Linux發行

Kubuntu是免費的、用戶友好的Linux發行，它基于KDE的桌面軟件及出類拔萃的Ubuntu操作系統。它執行一年兩次的發布周期，每個發布擁有 至少18個月的免費安全更新。除了在發布時提供一份最新版本的KDE桌面外，該項目還為每個發布在整個生命周期里供應更新的KDE軟件包。

Stéphane Graber has announced the availability of the first alpha release of Kubuntu 13.04: " The first alpha of the 'Raring Ringtail' (to become 13.04) has now been released. This alpha features images for Edubuntu and Kubuntu. At the end of the 12.10 development cycle, the Ubuntu flavour decided that it would reduce the number of milestone images going forward and the focus would concentrate on daily quality and fortnightly testing rounds known as cadence testing. Based on that change, the Ubuntu product itself will not have an Alpha-1 release. Its first milestone release will be the final beta release on the 28th of March 2013. Other Ubuntu flavours have the option to release using the usual milestone schedule." See the release announcement and release notes for further information.
