Ubuntu 7.04

Product Description

Note: This is an archived version. The latest version is Ubuntu 7.10.

Ubuntu is a free, open source Linux-based operating system that starts with the breadth of Debian and adds regular releases (every six months), a clear focus on the user and usability (it should "Just Work", TM) and a commitment to security updates with 18 months of support for every release (and with 6.06 LTS you get 3 years on the desktop and 5 on the server!). Ubuntu ships with the latest GNOME release as well as a selection of server and desktop software that makes for a comfortable desktop experience off a single installation CD.

Ubuntu Editions:

• Ubuntu Desktop Edition offers you a complete Linux-based operating system, including all the major applications you need to play and work. With a strong focus on a desktop that Just Works, Ubuntu is a great choice for home or the office. The base system and all included software is free, and support is available from the community or by professional support providers.

• Ubuntu Server Edition built on the solid foundation of Debian — known for its robust server installations — the Ubuntu Server Edition has a strong heritage for reliable performance and predictable evolution. The first Ubuntu release with a separate server edition was 5.10, in October 2005.
  The latest releases of Ubuntu Server Edition, 6.06 LTS with Long Term Support and 6.10, adds support for several common configurations, bringing to server deployments the ease of use that made Ubuntu famous on the desktop. The new Ubuntu Server Edition provides a well-integrated platform for deploying a new server with any of the standard internet services: mail, web, DNS, file serving or database management.
  A key lesson from the Debian heritage is that of security by default. The Ubuntu Server has no open ports after the installation and contains only the essential software needed to build a secure server.
