Kubuntu 13.04 Alpha 1 发布，用户友好的Linux发行

Kubuntu是免费的、用户友好的Linux发行，它基于KDE的桌面软件及出类拔萃的Ubuntu操作系统。它执行一年两次的发布周期，每个发布拥有 至少18个月的免费安全更新。除了在发布时提供一份最新版本的KDE桌面外，该项目还为每个发布在整个生命周期里供应更新的KDE软件包。

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.
