http://www.h-online.com – ccording to Mark Shuttleworth, the driving force behind Ubuntu, the next LTS release of Ubuntu may be delayed in an attempt to synchronise the Ubuntu and Debian releases as part of a "meta-release cycle". The expectation was that the next LTS version would be 10.04, due for release in April 2010, but now it may be either 10.04 or 10.10. Part of the delay is likely down to the planned incorporation of GNOME 3.0, which is due in March of 2010, around the same time as Ubuntu 10.04 is due. (Distributions)
