Xubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft)
Select an image
Xubuntu is distributed on two types of images described below.
Desktop CD
The desktop CD allows you to try Xubuntu without changing your computer at all, and at your option to install it permanently later. This type of CD is what most people will want to use. You will need at least 128MB of RAM to install from this CD.
There are three images available, each for a different type of computer:
- PC (Intel x86) desktop CD
- For almost all PCs. This includes most machines with Intel/AMD/etc type processors and almost all computers that run Microsoft Windows. Choose this if you are at all unsure.
- Mac (PowerPC) and IBM-PPC (POWER5) desktop CD
- For Apple Macintosh G3, G4, and G5 computers, including iBooks and PowerBooks as well as IBM OpenPower machines.
- 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD
- For computers based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon). It is not necessary for all (even most) processors made by AMD -- only their 64 bit chips.
Alternate install CD
The alternate install CD allows you to perform certain specialist installations of Xubuntu. It provides for the following situations:
- creating pre-configured OEM systems;
- setting up automated deployments;
- upgrading from older installations without network access;
- LVM and/or RAID partitioning;
- installing GRUB to a location other than the Master Boot Record;
- installs on systems with less than about 128MB of RAM.
