Ubuntu Wiki

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!

This page is changing frequently so check back quickly! If you are posting pics to your own gallery, please link them along with your entry. If you are posting on flickr, then please tag them with at least an "ubuntu" tag so they show up on The Fridge.
