It was, yesterday/this morning. Ubuntu has a LiveCD as well if you want
to see how it will work on your hardware without overwriting what you
have.
They'll even send you a CD (or a handful of CDs) free (although it takes
a week or two (or three) to arrive).
The new Ubuntu has X.org, Gnome 2.10.1, and lots of other very fresh
stuff, so it is NOT solely based on Debian testing, by any stretch.

Be warned! The ubuntulinux.org site is veeeerrryyyy slooooooooow today,
because of all the traffic generated by the excitement of the new
version.
