Ubuntu is a community developed operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. Whether you use it at home, at school or at work Ubuntu contains all the applications you'll ever need, from word processing and email applications, to web server software and programming tools.

Ubuntu is and always will be free of charge. You do not pay any licensing fees. You can download, use and share Ubuntu with your friends, family, school or business for absolutely nothing.

We issue a new desktop and server release every six months. That means you'll always have the the latest and greatest applications that the open source world has to offer.

Ubuntu is designed with security in mind. You get free security updates for at least 18 months on the desktop and server.

Everything you need on one CD, which provides a complete working environment. Additional software is available online.

The graphical installer enables you to get up and running quickly and easily. A standard installation should take less than 25 minutes.

Once installed your system is immediately ready-to-use. On the desktop you have a full set of productivity, internet, drawing and graphics applications, and games.

On the server you get just what you need to get up and running and nothing you don't.

Here are some key features of "Ubuntu":

· Ubuntu will always be free of charge, including enterprise releases and security updates.
· Ubuntu comes with full commercial support from Canonical and hundreds of companies around the world.
· Ubuntu includes the very best translations and accessibility infrastructure that the free software community has to offer.

Zenwalk is a GNU/Linux operating system. Zenwalk is designed with the following objectives:

What's New in This Release :

· This release comes with the biggest changelog in the history of the project to offer many new features and optimizations. We spent the 2 last month polishing the desktop around the new Xfce 4.6, making sure that this brand new version is well integrated into Zenwalk 6.0. We also replaced GNOME Office with our lightweight and optimized version of OpenOffice.org 3.0.1, split in two packages. The Totem movie player is also part of the adventure, replacing MPlayer, which is still available from our growing package repository.

Jean-Philippe Guillemin, founder of Zenwalk Linux distribution, announced, two days ago (March 7th), the release of Zenwalk Linux 6.0. One of the most important updated components is Xfce, the default desktop environment, which recently reached version 4.6.

"We spent the 2 last months polishing the desktop around the new Xfce 4.6, making sure that this brand new version is well integrated into Zenwalk 6.0. As usual, our challenge was to provide latest versions of the most modern applications as well as kernel, while keeping the usual level of simplicity and performance that makes Zenwalk special in the GNU/Linux world.", said Jean-Philippe Guillemin in the official release announcement.

The default GNOME office applications (Abiword, Gnumeric, etc.) were replaced by a modified lightweight version of OpenOffice 3.0.1. The suite was split in a base package (Writer, Calc, Impress and Draw) and an "extra" package (Math, Database, Java support). The first one is included in the ISO while the extra package can be downloaded through Netpkg.
