当地时间6月1日，Ubuntu推出了其最新的版本6.06LTS ，代号“Dapper Drake”。

Ubuntu的附属项目在原先的Kubuntu（kde桌面）、edubuntu（教育系统）的基础上增加了xubuntu（xface桌面）效果虽差，但性能可是一流的。在光盘发布类型上也在desktop和server的基础上增加了一个更加灵活的Alternate。好笑的是desktop版的ubuntu竟然提供了windows下的Firefox Thunderbird adiword gaim gimp等开源软件，而且做成了光盘自动执行。我起初还以为下载错了。

官方的update

On the Desktop CD 桌面版

• A new, very fast, graphical installer based on the Live CD //终于有了图形化的安装界面，但个人觉得就是一个liveCD+install程序

• Faster system startup and login //更快的启动速度，属于正常更新

• Simplified menu organization //简单化的菜单

• Graphical shutdown process //似乎是在学习Suse

• Easy access to power management settings with GNOME Power Manager //电源管理，笔记本电脑的福音 

• Improved support for video playback //更多的显卡支持

• Optional NetworkManager for convenient roaming between different

  • wireless and wired networks //无限网卡，笔记本电脑的福音

• GNOME 2.14.1, OpenOffice.org 2.0.2, X.org 7.0 //只能算是正常更新

（傻瓜化、移动化的趋势使然，FC5 Suse10如此，ubuntu也不例外）

On the Server 服务器版

• New kernels targeted at server platforms. The server kernels are tuned differently than the desktop kernels (providing better performance for server applications). //与桌面版采用不同的内核，莫非之前……

• There are both low-end, and "big iron" server kernels. The low-end 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). //低端、高端两种内核

• Turn-key LAMP installation for this common deployment scenario //LAMP开发的咚咚

• Improved support for clusters and SANs //集群、SANs的加强

• Numerous thin client enhancements, including faster client startup,graphical boot process, reduced memory requirements, and sound device support //无盘站、瘦客户机的优化

Localization 本地化

• Automatic setup of non-Latin input methods //自动安装输入方法

• Menu item translations included in language packs, for faster integration of new and updated translations provided through Rosetta //包含本地语言包，更容易翻译。

Installation and Upgrades 安装、升级

• Ubuntu can now be installed to USB devices, such as removable hard drives and flash memory, using the text-mode installer //可在USB设备上安装

• A new upgrade tool is available, for simple, clean and reliable upgrades from one Ubuntu release to the next, starting with Ubuntu 5.10 //可从5.10的版本上“简单、干净、可靠”的升级

• The alternate installer now runs in a single stage, rebooting straight into the complete system. This makes it faster, simpler, and more reliable. //alternate的定制系统
