Ubuntu is distributed on four types of images described below.
Desktop CD
The desktop CD allows you to try Ubuntu 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 256MB of RAM to install from this CD.
There are three images available, each for a different type of computer:
- 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.
- IA-64 desktop CD
- For Intel Itanium and Itanium 2 computers.
- PlayStation 3 desktop CD
- For Sony PlayStation 3 systems. (This defaults to installing Ubuntu permanently, since there is usually not enough memory to try out the full desktop system and run the installer at the same time. An alternative boot option to try Ubuntu without changing your computer is available.)
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.
- IA-64 server install CD
- For Intel Itanium and Itanium 2 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.
Server install image
The server install image allows you to install Ubuntu permanently on a computer for use as a server. It will not install a graphical user interface.
There are three images available, each for a different type of computer:
- Marvell Dove server install image
- For Dove boards.
- Freescale i.MX51 server install image
- For i.MX51 boards.
- Texas Instruments OMAP server install image

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 four 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.
- IA-64 alternate install CD
- For Intel Itanium and Itanium 2 computers.

- PlayStation 3 alternate install CD
- For Sony PlayStation 3 systems.
Netbook live image
The live image allows you to try Ubuntu Netbook Edition without changing your computer at all, and at your option to install it permanently later. This live image is optimized for netbooks with screens up to 10". You will need at least 256MB of RAM to install from this image.
There is one image available:
- Texas Instruments OMAP netbook live image
- For OMAP3 boards.
A full list of available files, including BitTorrent files, can be found below.
