Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Edubuntu/Xubuntu 6.06 Released
Hello, everyone.
There is a short announcement on the home page of Softpedia about the release of Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Edubuntu/Xubuntu 6.06 ("Dapper Drake").
There is a user opinions section below the announcement, if you are interested.
I realize that there are scores of such announcements, so I won't share any more of them, in order to avoid wasting this site's disk space and bandwidth.
I have become interested in XFCE over the last year or so, so I may actually get Xubuntu 6.06 first. (I will be curious to see what version of XFCE is being used, among other things.)
Anyway, I know that many people have switched to Ubuntu and there is much interest in this distribution.
I volunteer for an international, nonprofit, educational organization (iEARN), and I may suggest Ubuntu and/or Edubuntu to the executive director. Linux and iEARN seem like such a good fit, given the financial savings and freedom that Linux offers.
Thank you for your time!
Cordially,
David

I read many good things about this release while it was under development.
I pay special attention to comments by JustLinux moderators, so your brief message gives me even more incentive to get this distribution.
I am still waiting for my free retail SuSE Linux 10.1 DVD (with documentation on a CD and no installation support from Novell/SuSE, of course). I want to install it first on my trusty 2.0-GHz Pentium-4 computer (now, my Linux-only computer). :)
I wanted to install Debian or a Debian derivative, but I have been convinced (very easily) by a forum discussion in JustLinux to go for Debian ("Sarge"), so I will install it next on my "Linux computer."
Perhaps Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Edubuntu/Xubuntu 6.06 will be my third (or second) Linux installation. (I have two 128-GB Seagate hard drives in my Linux system, one for distributions and the other for backups; there is also room for a third hard drive if I enable RAID on the motherboard.)
Thanks for your time, 'hard candy'!
Cordially,
David
