This directory of Ubuntu ISOs is currently maintained by kchen. -- 2005-10-25 This directory is no longer regularly updated -- you may be interested in grabbing ISOs from http://snork.mit.edu/ instead, which is an Ubuntu apt and CD mirror. -- 2007-05-28 -------- From the Ubuntu web site (http://www.ubuntu.com/): Ubuntu is a free, open source operating system that starts with the breadth of Debian and adds regular releases (every six months), a clear focus on the user and usability (it should "Just Work", TM) and a commitment to security updates with 18 months of support for every release. Ubuntu ships with the latest Gnome release as well as a selection of server and desktop software that makes for a comfortable desktop experience off a single installation CD. -------- Instructions on how to make the Ubuntu install run Athena services such as Kerberos, AFS, zephyr, and printing can be found at http://stuff.mit.edu/afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/debian-athena/www/ -------- Section 3 of the GPL states: 3.
