	Ubuntu Linux 6.06 review - The Jem Report
		Ubuntu Linux 6.06 was delayed for several weeks to ensure that it was as good as it could be, then finally released on June 1.
		This version of Ubuntu was supposed to be "enterprise-ready" as a server and as a desktop, but unless businesses like dealing with multiple hardware issues, a substandard Java environment, and a lack of proprietary Web browser plugins, I can't see how Ubuntu Linux 6.06 is ready for anything except perhaps a patch release.
		Ubuntu Linux is a relatively new GNU/Linux distribution that was originally based on Debian.

	Ubuntu Linux Resources
		Ubuntu is an operating system based on the Linux kernel.
		Ubuntu tries to make the installation of the operating system as simple as possible--one user (at least initially--you can add more users later), one password, one application per task, one CD for the entire operating system.
		Ubuntu may be that, but there are other Linux distributions out there, and you may be better off with a non-Linux operating system (a Windows or Mac operating system, for example).

	Ubuntu 6.06 "Dapper Drake" - VMTN Virtual Appliances (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support.
		The Ubuntu community is built on the ideas enshrined in the Ubuntu Philosophy: that software should be available free of charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities, and that people should
		These freedoms make Ubuntu fundamentally different from traditional proprietary software: not only are the tools you need available free of charge, you have the right to modify your software until it works the way you want it to.

	Linux in Government: Linux Desktop Reviews, Part 6 - Ubuntu \| Linux Journal
		Ubuntu software also does not claim to be suitable for big government or big enterprise needs, but it does claim to be a desktop suitable for use in numerous contexts.
		Ubuntu includes more than 1,000 pieces of software, starting with the Linux kernel version 2.6 and GNOME 2.10, and covering every standard desktop application from word processing and spreadsheet applications to internet access applications, web server software, email software, programming languages and tools and of course several games.
		Ubuntu has done well in a short time and the members of the Ubuntu community should be proud, as should the developers of the Free Software distributed by Ubuntu.

	Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) arrives
		While Ubuntu 6.10 is not Canonical's primary business Linux -- that honor still goes to Ubuntu 6.06 LTS -- the new Ubuntu will be maintained for 18 months, with free security updates for all users.
		Ubuntu LTSP project manager Oliver Grawert stated, "LTSP-5 is the culmination of over one and a half years of collaboration between the LTSP project, the Ubuntu project, and the open source community to define the next generation of Linux thin client technology.
		There had been rumors that Ubuntu might soon announce a major pre-installed deal with a desktop PC vendor, but, according to Shuttleworth, there is no such deal in the works.

		This is thanks to Ubuntu Linux, which has gotten so much praise in my recent reports, a colleague suggested I should change the name of this column to "Ubuntu Agent." Ahem.
		X, as Linux types often refer to it, is the part of the OS that drives the point-and-click interface of your choice (usually Gnome or KDE).
		It was a pretty good introduction to the Linux desktop and to Gnome, although I was a bit puzzled by the emphasis on (and inclusion of, on CD) Fedora Core, which is not exactly the most user-friendly Linux out of the box.

	LXer: Ubuntu Linux Desktop Reviewed
		Ubuntu accomplishes its objectives with an easy-to-use installation process, an excellent system update and enhancement mechanism and a distribution that makes a great starter--or permanent home--for Linux users who just like their computer to get work done.
		When Ubuntu developers fix bugs that are also present in Debian packages they send their bugfixes to the Debian developers responsible for that package in Debian and record the patch in the Debian bug system.
		Ubuntu has done this by reaching places other distributions have failed to touch such as the underdeveloped countries on the planet and including everyone in the process.

		Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning "humanity to others" (alternative meaning is "I can't configure Debian", sources say).
		Default Ubuntu - featuring Gnome and lots of Gnome apps like Firefox, Evolution, Synaptic Package Manager, Beagle Search, Rhythmbox, Sound Juicer, etc - this is the first flavor and it is said to be the most stable one.

	Interview with Jeff Waugh On Ubuntu Linux - OSNews.com
		The Debian-based Ubuntu Linux was unveiled today and a preview release is available for download.
		Ubuntu has disabled the root user (sudo is used, same way as OSX does it) and it endorses the "less is more" philosophy.
		We'd like Ubuntu to work on as muche hardware as possible, but we'd also like to be able to show hardware vendors how important it is to have Open Source drivers for our platform.

	Installing Ubuntu Linux!
		You have the Ubuntu install disc, so pop in your spare hard drive (if you do not know how to do this, make a quick detour to the PC Mech Forums and you will have it done in no time) and put the install disc in your CD drive and lets get started.
		In fact, if you were to "explore" your Linux file structure, it would appear everything was stored on a single drive, even if you have several partitions or multiple hard drives "mounted" (more on this later).
		Linux refers to your IDE devices (usually your hard drives and CD drives) using the letters "hd" followed by letters a through d (representing primary IDE master through secondary IDE slave, respectively).

	Six Weeks with Ubuntu Linux - OSNews.com
		By all means, Ubuntu Linux and Canonical Ltd. have made a spectacular arrival on the Linux scene lately.
		The combination is like a dream come true for many, many Linux aficionados: tightly selected bleeding edge packages to focus the distribution on a single CD, corporate backing, 18 month support, that all sounds like a formidable package.
		Furthermore, Ubuntu is based on the ever-popular Debian Linux, so our fellow Ubuntista has access to virtually all software that exists for Linux.

	Tweaking Ubuntu \| Linux Magazine
		In the last two years, Ubuntu has very quickly become the most frequently downloaded Linux distribution, because it’s free, actively maintained and enhanced, easy to use, and available in enough different flavors to suit almost any user’s platform preference and hardware configuration.
		I’m probably going to get yelled at by the Ubuntu faithful because the use of sudo to perform root activities is so integral to the operating system, but I’m a traditionalist — I like not having to preface with sudo before every administrative command.
		You should now be able to launch a terminal and type su and the root password to remain as root for the for the remainder of the session.

	PC World - Free Agent: Ubuntu Linux, Free and Fabulous
		Ubuntu's installer is not going to win any beauty contests: It runs in text mode and completely ignores your mouse.
		Ubuntu's Applications menu (Windows users, think "Start menu") is very well organized--which is good, because there's no built-in way to edit the menu.
		Ubuntu is based on Debian, the grandpappy of noncommercial Linuxes, and thus inherits Debian's best-of-breed package management system, Apt.

	Make Linux 'gorgeous,' Ubuntu leader says
		Mark Shuttleworth wants to take the ugly duckling, which is the Linux desktop operating system, and turn it into a beautiful swan.
		In order for Linux to become viable, users like Mossbarger argue that Red Hat Inc., Novell and Ubuntu must continue to focus on the user experience, including look and feel.
		Novell appears to have found a way to merge the functionality of Linux with a GUI interface with SLED10, if user reaction and reviews are any indication.

	Oracle and Linux: How about Ubuntu?
		Ubuntu is a desktop Linux version, based on Debian GNU/Linux, and is sponsored by Isle of Man-based Canonical Ltd. The name comes from the South African concept of Ubuntu -- roughly, "humanity toward others."
		Snapping up Ubuntu would not only save Ellison and Oracle a considerable amount of money, it would also eliminate some of the headaches associated with trying to integrate a company like Novell.
		Ubuntu also boasts one of the largest community bases of all the Linux distributions, called the Ubuntu Forums, which contain more than 67,000 unique registered users.
