Ubuntu 6.06 LTS - Dapper Drakeess
Ubuntu's instructions are available online via an integrated help
system. They are very straightforward. Any computer-savvy user, even if
they were new to Linux, shouldn't have much trouble managing,
installing, or updating Ubuntu or its programs.
With
such a large developer and user community, Ubuntu has excellent
hardware support and an enormous application base. This means that in
spite of what you might hear in the mainstream tech press, Linux works
just fine as a desktop operating system. A standard Ubuntu install will
give you a basic system but adding the universe and multiverse
repositories will give you access to thousands of more applications for
all types of needs. Anybody who's looking to escape the clutches of
proprietary operating system dependence should find Ubuntu Dapper and
excellent alternative.
