Please excuse my ignorance, but what exactly does “final beta” mean?

I think they're still yet to update the Ubuntu homepage (which still shows "12.04 LTS is in final beta now").

Homepage hasn't been updated yet. I heard they are shooting for a 12.04pm UTC release, so just about nowish :)

So is it final or still some beta version? I keep seeing beta 2 everywhere.

Also, I'm not too familiar with it, so why does it imply that the 64 bit version only works on AMD CPU's? Is there no 64 bit version for Intel?

Well, let's see if this one manages to recognize and correctly use all the hardware devices of my Asus laptop. 11.04&11.10 were so bad for it I had to revert to 10.04 which I'm still using.

Been using this for the past month or so - performs well, stable, and I'm still getting used to the HUD. Once I become a master of the HUD, I'll be all set.

I did have to do some tweaking to the default workspace management keybindings to be truly happy with the install, however. But if someone is coming in without any preexisting biases, the defaults may suit them just fine. (Hit the Super or "Windows" key for a guide)
