Less than 30 days before the final release, comes Ubuntu 12.04 beta 2. While there is very little difference in most visible desktop features between this and the last few releases, users still demand to see screen shots.

And I do not mind posting them. A detailed review will be posted when the final release, Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin LTS (Long Term Release), is made available for public download.
