Xenial Xerus
Introduction
Say hello to Xenial Xerus.
Ubuntu development cycle has been going through some changes. One of the core changes during the Utopic Unicorn cycle has been the introduction of SystemD, which is suppossed to boot Ubuntu faster and manage the boot process better. Also the introduction of Ubuntu-Next Unity8 flavour ISO. We expect to see even more changes comming as we say goodbye to Wily Werewolf and welcome to Xenial Xerus! Here is where more work on convergence will take place and experimentation and testing on Ubuntu-Core and Snappy Smart Things. Mark Shuttleworth made reference in his keynote adress that Ubuntu is in a very strategic position as this new-next revolution of convergence to phone, tablets and desktops comes into being, that ubuntu will be more than a mainspring in this metamorphosis.

Here are some common codes of interest to help with Wily recovery in the event of a crash. How to find your sources.list - this list is used to set repositories and can be done manually. It is also informative to have on hand if you decide to do a transitional upgrade from Oneiric Ocelot to Precise Pangolin or upcoming Trusty Tahr, Utopic Unicorn, Vivid Vervet to Wily Werewolf. Here is a list of commonly used Ubuntu/Linux terminal Codes (not necessarily in order and open to interpretation) of WW Crash Recovery Codes -To be updated:
Ideas: We should use MoinMoin Syntax Parsers (http://moinmo.in/HelpOnParsers) where commands/code are presented. Parsers ensure code/commands are not converted to smileys and other MoinMoin stuff, therefore presented without errors. Log files: A lot of people don't know they exist, where they are stored, the type of information available in each log file, how to open them, how to search them easily for valuable information.

At last look , 2015/May 5 , these images are not available. The below links will defer to Vivid Some sudo Command Definitions
sudo basically means superusers-do. It is the basic command that gives access to administrative files that may need root authentication. There is a large database on sudo and sudoers definitions and uses in the following links. SudoUbuntuManuals and SudoersUbuntuManual Instructional Development (moved)
