The release schedule for Ubuntu 13.10, Saucy Salamander, is posted at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/ReleaseSchedule. Canonical is still staying with a final beta/ final release schedule for Ubuntu, with optional alphas and betas for the other flavors (Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.).
Here is the schedule:
June 27 Alpha 1 (Opt-in flavors)
August 15 Ubuntu 12.04.3 (the third release of the LTS version)
September 5 Beta 1 (Opt-in flavors)
September 26 Final Beta
October 10 Release Candidate
October 17 Final Release
I do not feel ready yet to switch to Saucy Salamander. I may reconsider my view sometime around September 5, when the snapshots are less likely to break. I have been using the Humble Bundle Steam keys to download many games via Steam for Linux. As much as this prepares me to have my machine hosed due to the way Steam games can be re-downloaded, it has also been a lot of work.
Happy Ubuntu-ing!
