Welcome to Natty Narwhal Alpha 3, which will in time become Ubuntu 11.04.

Pre-releases of Natty are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs.

Alpha 3 is the third in a series of milestone CD images that will be released throughout the Natty development cycle.

New packages showing up in this release include:
* LibreOffice 3.3.1
* Unity 3.6.0
* Linux Kernel 2.6.38-rc6.
* Upstart 0.9
* Dpkg 1.16.0-pre + multi-arch snapshot

The Alpha images are known to be reasonably free of show stopper CD build or installer bugs, while representing a very recent snapshot of Natty.
