Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex)
Select an image
Ubuntu is distributed on two types of images described below.
Server install CD
The server install CD allows you to install Ubuntu permanently on a computer for use as a server. It will not install a graphical user interface.
There are four images available, each for a different type of computer:
- Mac (PowerPC) and IBM-PPC (POWER5) server install CD
- For Apple Macintosh G3, G4, and G5 computers, including iBooks and PowerBooks as well as IBM OpenPower machines.
- HP PA-RISC server install CD
- For HP PA-RISC computers.
- SPARC server install CD
- For Sun UltraSPARC computers, including those based on the multicore UltraSPARC T1 ("Niagara") processors.
- PlayStation 3 server install CD
- For Sony PlayStation 3 systems.
Alternate install CD
The alternate install CD allows you to perform certain specialist installations of Ubuntu. It provides for the following situations:
- setting up automated deployments;
- upgrading from older installations without network access;
- LVM and/or RAID partitioning;
- installs on systems with less than about 256MB of RAM (although note that low-memory systems may not be able to run a full desktop environment reasonably).
In the event that you encounter a bug using the alternate installer, please file a bug on the debian-installer package.
There are five images available, each for a different type of computer:
- Mac (PowerPC) and IBM-PPC (POWER5) alternate install CD
- For Apple Macintosh G3, G4, and G5 computers, including iBooks and PowerBooks as well as IBM OpenPower machines.
- HP PA-RISC alternate install CD
- For HP PA-RISC computers.
- SPARC alternate install CD

- PlayStation 3 alternate install CD
- For Sony PlayStation 3 systems.
- Low-Power Intel Architecture alternate install CD
- For devices using the Low-Power Intel Architecture, including the A1xx and Atom processors.
