We never want to hand out Ubuntu *.10 at ITEC, precisely because it's a new
release that will have bugs that couldn't be caught in beta, due to the lack
of any beta-testers with the exact combinations of hardware and software
that triggers those bugs.  When we give CDs to people, I like to give a
mature release that's already had six months of bug fixes.  That way their
first exposure to Linux won't be full of FAIL.
