Canonical announced today the release of the last testing version for its upcoming Ubuntu Linux operating systems, including Lubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail).

Just like the other Ubuntu flavours, Lubuntu 13.04 Beta 2 is powered by kernel 3.8.0-16.26, which is based on the upstream Linux 3.8.5 kernel.

The second Beta release of the upcoming Lubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) distribution features new artwork, as well as a new installer slide show for the Desktop CD.

Lubuntu 13.04 will be supported for 18 months, and it is distributable as a Desktop and Alternate CD, as well as ARM images for ARMhf and AC100.
