Dear Ubuntu 10.04 users, Robbie Williamson announced a few hours ago the first maintenance release of the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) operating system, which incorporates numerous security fixes and updates.

This first maintenance release brings to its dedicated users a lot of security updates and corrections, all with a single goal: to keep Ubuntu 10.04 LTS a stable and reliable Linux distribution!

Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS fixes some installation bugs, various upgrade issues, improves support for many hardware components, and fixes annoying desktop bugs.

The 10.04.1 release is available for Ubuntu desktop/server users, and Kubuntu desktop and netbook users (see download links at the end of the article).

Existing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS users do not need to download the ISO image(s) again. Just update your machine(s) and you'll have Ubuntu 10.04.1, with all the security updates and corrections!

For more details, you can check out http://www.ubuntu.com/usn, where you'll find a complete list of security updates for the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS operating system.

Ubuntu 10.04.1 (Lucid Lynx) is a Long Term Support (LTS) distribution, supported with maintenance updates and security fixes until April 2013 on desktops, and April 2015 on servers.

The next maintenance release, Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS, will be announced next year, on January 27th.

Ubuntu is a Linux distribution for your desktop or server, with a fast and easy install, regular releases, a tight selection of excellent packages installed by default, every other package you can imagine available from the network and professional technical support from Canonical Ltd and hundreds of other companies around the world.
