Read the rest of the release announcement and see this list of changes (with screenshots) for further details. The installation and live CD images for the three supported architectures can be found in this directory; here is a quick link to the i386 installation ISO: dapper-install-i386.iso (607MB, MD5). |

| About Ubuntu |
| Ubuntu is a complete desktop Linux operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. The Ubuntu community is built on the ideas enshrined in the Ubuntu Manifesto: that software should be available free of charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities, and that people should have the freedom to customise and alter their software in whatever way they see fit. "Ubuntu" is an ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others". The Ubuntu distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world. |
