Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04) is here !

Update 1 : Sadly, the released has been delayed due to a bug in the GRUB bootloader. With this Bug, Grub display only Ubuntu when you’re in a multi-boot system. To make the new release faster, they decided to respin only the Ubuntu 32/64 bit desktop CDs and the Ubuntu Netbook Edition.

Update 2 : Finally the download is available :)

The new version of Ubuntu at just been released today : Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04
