Xubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)
Select an image
Xubuntu is distributed on two types of images described below.
Desktop CD
The desktop CD allows you to try Xubuntu 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 192MB of RAM to install from this CD.
There are two 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.
- PlayStation 3 desktop CD
- For Sony PlayStation 3 systems. (This defaults to installing Xubuntu 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 Xubuntu without changing your computer is available.)
Alternate install CD
The alternate install CD allows you to perform certain specialist installations of Xubuntu. 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 192MB 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 two 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.
- PlayStation 3 alternate install CD
- For Sony PlayStation 3 systems.
A full list of available files, including BitTorrent files, can be found below.
If you need help burning these images to disk, see the CD Burning Guide.
