Ubuntu 6.06 Beta 1

Posted by Michael Larabel on April 20, 2006

Ubuntu Linux has reached yet another release today. Rather than being one of the "Flight" development builds, today marks the first Beta release for Ubuntu v6.06 Dapper Drake. A great deal of Ubuntu Dapper Drake information is available from here. This Dapper Drake Beta release does bring a new Ubuntu term to the table: LTS. The LTS flag on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS means Long Term Support. Rather than the previous six month support and release cycles, Dapper Drake will be the first release to incorporate a sixteen month support period. The final Ubuntu v6.06 release should occur on June 1, 2006.
