The first Beta of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS will be available only for the opt-in flavors, and until now, only the Ubuntu MATE, Lubuntu and Ubuntu Kylin have been the ones to participate in the previous two Alpha builds, but it remains to be seen if more flavors will be joining the Beta 1 release.
According to the official release schedule, which has suffered no modifications until now, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Beta 1 should hit the streets in exactly two weeks from today, on February 25, 2016. After that, the development cycle of Xenial Xerus will continue with the second and final Beta build on March 24, in which Ubuntu itself will also take part.
