We are proud to announce the release of the new installer images for Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal Server Edition. It is available as an reinstall option for existing servers, or in the new servers orders page

The version is intended for those looking at getting newer versions of the packages for the 12.04 LTS (long term support) image. The trade off is that it is not LTS, having only 18 months of package updates from Ubuntu.

On the server-side there is not too much new or remarkable in the 12.10 image.  Most packages get minor updates.  We have provided a new kernel 3.6.4 for these images.  The install comes with a refreshed Python 3.2.
