[ Ubuntu-BD ] Dapper Drake released!

[Russell John]

Good news folks, Ubuntu 6.06 or "Dapper Drake" has been finally released!

Whats new on the desktop:

    *      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
    *      Improved support for video playback
    *      Optional NetworkManager for convenient roaming between different
          o            wireless and wired networks
    *      GNOME 2.14.1, OpenOffice.org 2.0.2, X.org 7.0

Whats new on the server:

    *      New kernels targeted at server platforms. The server kernels are
          o            tuned differently than the desktop kernels
(providing better performance for server applications).
    *      There are both low-end, and "big iron" server kernels. The
low-end
          o            server kernel is generic, and should work on the
same equipment that the desktop kernel runs on. The highend 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
    *      Numerous thin client enhancements, including faster client
startup,
          o            graphical boot process, reduced memory
requirements, and sound device support

Cool, right? Download the CD ISO from your nearest mirror, or order your
