− | The first Ubuntu release coincided with the release of Ubuntu 5.10, which was codenamed Breezy Badger on 2005-10-13. With the 8.04 Hardy Heron release of Ubuntu it was given the name of Ubuntu Education Edition[5] and was changed to be an add-on to a standard Ubuntu installation instead of being an installable LiveCD. From version 9.10 onwards, Ubuntu changed to be available as a full system DVD instead of an Add-on CD.[6] Ubuntu is also installable[7] via a selection of "Ubuntu" packages for all distributions using the official Ubuntu repositories (Ubuntu and Kubuntu mainly). | + | In once in a six months, Ubuntu is releasing new version of the ubuntu. The first Ubuntu release coincided with the release of Ubuntu 4.10 which was codenamed "Warty Warthog". The recently released version of Ubuntu is 16.10 (as December 2016), but Ubuntu 16.04 is the latest [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS LTS]('''L'''ong '''T'''erm '''S'''upport) version. The LTS designation applies only to specific subsets of the Ubuntu archive. The LTS may not apply to all flavors and remixes of Ubuntu. For example, for 8.04 LTS, Kubuntu chose to move to KDE 4.0 and didn't issue an LTS release. In 10.04, the Netbook Edition was not an LTS. The project will decide which flavors will be LTS and the support duration for each, early in the LTS development cycle. |
