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 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 6.10 (Edgy Eft), which was released October 2006. 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 6.10 from the following places:

Download the Live Desktop CD

The Live CD provides a non intrusive desktop running from CD, and a graphical installer.

1. Go to the Official Download Page
1. Choose the location that is closest to you.
1. Most users should download Intel x86 desktop CD

• • If you have an Apple computer with a PowerPC processor, get the PowerPC desktop CD
  • If you have a 64 bit system, you can use AMD64 desktop CD

1. 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 a textual installation.

1. Go to the Official Download Page
1. Choose the location that is closest to you.
1. Most users should download the Intel x86 alternative CD

• • If you have an Apple computer with a PowerPC processor, get the PowerPC alternative CD
  • If you have a 64 bit system, you can use AMD64 alternative CD

1. 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 (only for 6.06 LTS)

Shipit will ship free Live Desktop CDs to anywhere in the world. This service takes some time, so please be patient. Shipit only supplies Long-Term Support (LTS) releases.

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 7.04 (Feisty Fawn), due to be released April 2007.

To download daily CD images using jigdo ("Jigsaw Download"), see the JigdoDownloadHowto.

Rsync to get the latest development ISO

To get always the latest daily ISO, it will initially take about 600MB of download. Once have the image, rsync just downloads the part which is different between your ISO and the one from the server.

Use this command to synchronize your ISO image with the latest version from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/ (don't forget to replace i386 with your CPU type)

rsync -v --progress rsync://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/daily/current/dapper-install-i386.iso dapper-install-i386.iso

Now check the MD5SUM before burn it:

wget http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/MD5SUMS
cat MD5SUMS
md5sum dapper-install-i386.iso
