I intend to mail this out once the images have been propagated to the mirrors.
The Ubuntu/Xubuntu teams are proud to present the second beta release of Xubuntu 6.06 .
Since it shares the common base system and the Desktop CD installer with Ubuntu 6.06 beta 2,
this release contains the fixes mentioned in the Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Edubuntu announcement.
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2006-April/000072.html
The Xubuntu Desktop CD now logs in automatically. Beta 1 had a bug and prompted for a username and password
which were not mentioned anywhere prominently enough.
The Xubuntu specific installer bug of freezing when selecting the time zone has also been corrected.
