There are several methods of getting Ubuntu, which releases a new version every six months.
There are two stable versions of Ubuntu available. The Current Stable, and the LTS version. For approximately the first six months after its release, the LTS version and the current stable version are the same.
LTS is an initialism meaning "Long-Term Support". This means that it is supported for 5 years on servers and 3 years on the desktop. By contrast the stable version is supported for 18 months on both desktop and servers. Neither is inherently more stable than the other. The current stable version is Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon), which was released October 2007. The current Long-Term Support (LTS) version is Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake), which was released June 2006.

Stable Versions
You can get Ubuntu 6.06 LTS or Ubuntu 7.10 from the following places:
Download the Live Desktop CD
The Live CD provides a non-intrusive desktop running from CD, and a graphical installer.
- Go to the Official Download Page
- Select the desktop edition you want.
- Choose the location that is closest to you.
- Most users should select Standard personal computer
- If you have a 64-bit system, you can use 64bit AMD and Intel computers
- Click the start download button.
- Burn the CD on to a blank disc. Please refer to the BurningIsoHowto page which describes how to verify and burn the ISO image properly.
Download the Alternative Installation CD
The Alternative installation CD provides an installer that is text-based rather than graphical. It is needed for installation on computers with less than 256 megabytes of RAM.
- Go to the Official Download Page
- Select the desktop edition you want.
- Choose the location that is closest to you.
- Most users should download Standard personal computer
- If you have a 64-bit system, you can use 64bit AMD and Intel computers
- Check the box labeled Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD
- Click the start download button.
- Burn the CD on to a blank disc. Please refer to the BurningIsoHowto page which describes how to verify and burn the ISO image properly.
Order a CD from Shipit
Shipit will ship free Live Desktop CDs to anywhere in the world. This service takes some time, so please be patient.
Obtaining from Other Suppliers
- UbuntuDistributors can ship Ubuntu CD-ROMS and DVDs faster than the Shipit service can.
- Computer magazines may contain Ubuntu CD-ROMS and DVDs.
- LocalLinux User Groups (LUG) may choose to supply copies of Ubuntu at their meetings.
- Libraries often stock software on CD-ROM when it came with a book.
Development versions
As the next Ubuntu release draws closer, preview versions of it will be released on CD. If you are interested in helping test the release and in reporting or fixing bugs in it, you might wish to install the development release. Please note that the development release may be very unstable, especially in the early stages of the cycle. Most users will NOT want to use a development version and would prefer having a stable, supported release.
Earlier in the release cycle, CD images of the development version will not be available. The current development version is Ubuntu 8.05 (Hardy Heron), due to be released April 2008.
To download daily CD images using jigdo ("Jigsaw Download"), see the JigdoDownloadHowto.
