Η Canonical διέθεσε την πρώτη beta του νέου Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak αλλά μόνο για τις opt-in γεύσεις, δηλαδή το Ubuntu MATE, Kubuntu, GNOME, Lubuntu, το Ubuntu Studio, και το Ubuntu Kylin. Φαίνεται ότι το Xubuntu δεν υπάρχει στην πρώτη έκδοση Beta.
Ubuntu itself is not available as Beta 1, and will only be released as Final Beta, which will be the second and final Beta.
As you may know, Canonical will try to replace Upstart with systemd, integrate and fix the network configuration through the implementation of the "netplan" project that we will see in the final version of Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak.
Apart from these, most of the software packages have been updated with their latest versions such as: LibreOffice 5.2 and GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) 6.2.0, as well as the latest stable version GNOME 3.20 Stack.
The Linux 4.6.7 kernel should come to Ubuntu 16.10 sometime next week, which means it will not be available in Beta 1. However, the final version of Ubuntu 16.10 will be powered by the Linux kernel 4.8, which is currently released as Linux Kernel 4.8 Release Candidate 3.
