A few minutes ago, the Ubuntu development team unleashed the Release Candidate (RC) version of the upcoming Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) operating system, due for launch at the end of this month. As usual, we've downloaded a copy of it in order to keep you up-to-date with the latest changes in the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS development.

What's new in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS RC? Well, there's not much to talk about this release, except that Ubuntu 10.04 LTS RC is now powered by Linux kernel 2.6.32.11. You already know from our previous articles what new features will be included in the final release, expected next Thursday.

The Release Candidate is pretty stable and can be used as a daily operating system. Below, you can see how Ubuntu 10.04 LTS looks like and this is how it will look 7 days from now. We can definitely say that this is the first release with a black theme and Mac-style titlebar buttons!
