Ubuntu 6.06 'Dapper Drake' Released
BBSeXoDuS writes "Ubuntu Dapper Drake has been finally been released. Run on over to the download site while it's still hot. From the announcement: 'Ubuntu 6.06 LTS introduces functionality that simplifies common Linux server deployment processes. For system administrators setting up large numbers of web, mail and related servers, Ubuntu 6.06 LTS offers the fastest and most consistent path to deployment, combined with the availability of global commercial support where needed.' "
So what software versions are supported by Dapper out of the box? Theres Gnome 2.14, Xorg 7?
Anyone know of a list?
I think this is an acomplishment of the Debian APT system. Ubuntu hadn't much to do with it. Upgrades have been easy in Debian since... always!

So I gave Ubuntu a shot with all the hype, and I must say I hate their package manager. I want to upgrade Firefox to 1.5.0.3 so I do a search with their utility (forget the name) and I can't find it. That makes a bit of sense as it was pretty new. I figure I'd get it directly from Mozilla, but first let me remove the old package. Can't do it, unless I want to remove all of Ubuntu desktop. Why would I want to remove all the desktop apps? What is this Microsoft? They have to bundle the browser? Just try and remove any application using their package manager. Pretty much everything that comes with Ubuntu is tied into that Ubuntu desktop app. So I end up having two of everything. How is that user friendly? Yes, I'm sure you can remove it by going command line. But for that I'll stick with Slackware. At least I know what to expect, I just thought I'd try this new fangled user-friendly distro.
