各位喜歡自由軟體及開放精神的朋友！

初闖江湖兩三年的 Ubuntu Linux，隨著台灣 Ubuntu 社群剛滿一週年，

也隨著 Dapper Drake 長時段支援(LTS)版本的釋出，將開辦一場 2006 Dapper Installfest(安裝慶典)！同時也舉辦 Release Party!

The Ubuntu team is proud to announce the release of Ubuntu 6.06 LTS,
codenamed "Dapper Drake". This release includes both installable
Desktop CDs and alternate text-mode installation CDs for several
architectures, for Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu.

Ubuntu is a Linux distribution for your desktop or server, with a
fast and easy install, regular releases, a tight selection of
excellent packages installed by default, every other package you can
imagine available with a few clicks from a global network of mirrors,
and professional commercial technical support from Canonical Ltd and
hundreds of other companies around the world.

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS will be the first Ubuntu release with a long-term
support cycle: free security updates and commercial technical support
will be available for three years on the desktop, and five years on
the server.

About Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
---------------------

Highlights of this release include:

On the Desktop CD

* A new, very fast, graphical installer based on the Live CD

* Faster system startup and login

* Simplified menu organization

* Graphical shutdown process

* Easy access to power management settings with GNOME Power
Manager (Ubuntu)

* Improved support for video playback

* Optional NetworkManager for convenient roaming between different
wireless and wired networks

* OpenOffice.org 2.0.2, X.org 7.0

* Support for ongoing translation updates throughout the life of
this release, for all supported desktop environments


On the Server

* New kernels targeted at server platforms. The server kernels are
tuned differently than the desktop kernels (providing better
performance for server applications).

* Both low-end and "big iron" server kernels. The low-end
server kernel is generic, and should work on the same equipment
that the desktop kernel runs on. The high-end server kernel is
geared towards systems with greater than 8 CPUs (ES7000 / Summit
/ BIGSMP).

* Turn-key LAMP installation for this common deployment scenario

* Improved support for clusters and SANs

* Thin client enhancements, including faster client startup,
graphical boot process, reduced memory requirements, and sound
device support


Localization

* Automatic setup of non-Latin input methods

* Menu item translations included in language packs, for faster
integration of new and updated translations provided through
Rosetta

* Ongoing translation updates from the Rosetta web service:

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+translations


Installation and Upgrades

* Ubuntu can now be installed to USB devices, such as removable
hard drives and flash memory, using the text-mode installer

* A new upgrade tool is available, for simple, clean and reliable
upgrades from one Ubuntu release to the next, starting with
Ubuntu 5.10

* The alternate installer now runs in a single stage, rebooting
straight into the complete system. This makes it faster,
simpler, and more reliable.


"Under the hood"

* GCC 4.0.3

* glibc 2.3.6

* Linux 2.6.15.6

* New live CD infrastructure for improved performance, usability and
space-efficiency

* Greatly improved infrastructure for automatic hardware detection and activation

* The system PATH is now set in exactly one place, /etc/environment, for
convenient administration


As always, Ubuntu includes the very best of the 100% Free / Libre
application software world, and each new release incorporates
countless new features and bugfixes from the global development
community. More detailed release notes are at
