Ubuntu the Debian-based distribution funded largely by Mark
Shuttleworth that is focused upon building a viable desktop operating
system powered by Linux, as well as enterprise software after it has
received DB2 certification from IBM, has released their preliminary BETA
release for the upcoming v6.04 build. Unlike Breezy Badger (v5.10) with
its “Colony” development builds, Ubuntu has renamed the development
snapshots for the v6.04 release to “Flight”. The name for this upcoming
release is also going to be known as Dapper Drake. Continuing on with
their six month release cycle, Ubuntu 6.04 will be making its presence
in April of 2006. Today we are checking out Kubuntu (the KDE version of
Ubuntu) 6.04 Dapper Drake Flight 1.
