BIONIC BEAVER BETA 6C

Congratulations on being part of this historic moment in ARM64 Linux and Raspberry Pi 3 history. Announcing the first distribution based on Ubuntu 18.04, code named Bionic Beaver. Tacitus will surely record this event in his annals.

UPDATING

This pre-release development version comes with many bleeding edge packages like Systemd 235 and LibreOffice 5.4 but some packages like PulseAudio are still at version 10 and will likely be updated before release. To be sure you get the latest version you need to periodically run apt-get dist-upgrade rather than the typical apt upgrade. Whenever the official alpha or beta versions come out is the perfect time, or that's when the dev packages are the most "stable" anyway, to use the word loosely, like TV "news". :P

HARDWARE

Don't forget default boot config is for a WaveShare 10.1 IPS touchscreen and a Pi 3B with UHS-1 microSD card. If you're using anything else you need to edit those settings before first boot. Also, YouBoob video below assumes only one hard disk in your PC, so check to make sure your SD card reader/writer isn't /dev/sdc or /dev/sdd if you have more than one internal drive.
