Once Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper) is out, there will be plenty to celebrate, whether you were directly involved the release process or just rejoice because the next iteration of the best Distribution is finally out.

June 1 is the date for Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. Many parties will be on this date, or you can pick your own date! Go ahead and put down your favorite pub, park or cafe and celebrate getting Dapper out of the door!
