Ubuntu 新聞 : Announcing Ubuntu 6.06 LTS

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
