The Ubuntu team has announced the release of Ubuntu 5.1 (Breezy Badger) today.
It comes in installation CDs, live CDs, and combination DVDs for three architectures. If downloading a large ISO file is difficult for you, then you can request them to send you the CDs free of charge with their Shipit facility.
The new release comes with the following new features:
* Thin Client Integration: Ubuntu is the first distribution in the world to include deeply-integrated thin client technology. This allows you to deploy Ubuntu in large scale networked environments or, for example, in classrooms, with a lightweight Ubuntu image booting over the network. All Ubuntu management tools work for the thin client image as well as for the server.
* OEM Installer Support: This release of Ubuntu has special support for OEM hardware vendors. Ubuntu can be pre-installed and tested without configuring end user information. The user will be asked to complete that configuration (name, timezone and password) upon first startup.
* Launchpad Integration Launchpad.net is the new infrastructure that Ubuntu and its derivatives use for translation, bug tracking, sharing code patches, fixes and technical support. Users of Ubuntu 5.10 can make technical support requests for any package in Ubuntu, and can help to translate their software, directly from the built-in Help menu in every desktop application.
Just wonder do you use Ubuntu or other GNU/Linux Operating System before? hehehhehe
Just installed Breezy Badger but at no point was I asked to input the root password. Searchec the Help and could not find what is installed by default, which means I cannot change it.
Can you help
