Ubuntu Version 6.06 LTS (Long Term Support) (Dapper Drake)
Available as a two CD Set the Live CD version and Installable Version
Version 6.06 was a great advance on it's predecessor Version 5.10 installation was much simpler and nearly installed on any hardware presented, it's ability to detect hardware and more importantly the network where also greatly improved.
Distribution Upgrade from version 5.10 to Version 6.06 was abysmal and failed on all units that we tried them on.
Clean installs where much more reliable and installed with little or no difficulty, printer support also seemed much improved.
Applications included:
Openoffice
Gimp
Konqueror
Konqueror although a good browser Firefox was becoming available from the repositories and this was favored over Konqueror.
Updates proved to be very simple and easy to install with only the requirement for a reboot on very rare occasions or when the Kernel image file needed updating.
With more website's and Forum sites supporting Ubuntu it was easier to resolve some issues with this release.
