Hi Stephen,

You can see the Ubuntu Lucid (9.10) Release schedule here
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule

Most ubuntu releases follow the same pattern. Several Alpha releases
followed by a couple of betas, a release candidate or two and then the
final release. If you want a stable release then stick with the final
releases. If you want the latest bleeding edge stuff then go for alpha
or betas, be warned it may well break stuff though.

Further information about their general release process here.

Cheers,
Toby
