Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon)
These images are vulnerable to
USN-612-1, a very serious
flaw in the cryptographic library used to generate encryption keys. It is
essential that you apply all security updates after installation before
making any use of your system.
Select an image
Ubuntu is distributed on three 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
320MB of RAM to install from this CD.
There are two images available, each for a different type of computer:
- PC (Intel x86) desktop CD
- For almost all PCs. This includes most machines with Intel/AMD/etc type
processors and almost all computers that run Microsoft Windows, as well as
newer Apple Macintosh systems based on Intel processors. Choose this if you
are at all unsure.
- 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD
- Choose this to take full advantage of computers based on the AMD64 or EM64T
architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon). If you have a non-64-bit
processor made by AMD, or if you need full support for 32-bit code, use the
Intel x86 images instead.
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 three images available, each for a different type of computer:
- PC (Intel x86) server install CD
- For almost all PCs. This includes most machines with Intel/AMD/etc type
processors and almost all computers that run Microsoft Windows, as well as
newer Apple Macintosh systems based on Intel processors. Choose this if you
are at all unsure.
- 64-bit PC (AMD64) server install CD
- Choose this to take full advantage of computers based on the AMD64 or EM64T
architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon). If you have a non-64-bit
processor made by AMD, or if you need full support for 32-bit code, use the
Intel x86 images instead.
- SPARC server install CD
- For Sun UltraSPARC computers, including those based on the multicore
UltraSPARC T1 ("Niagara") processors.
Alternate install CD
The alternate install CD allows you to perform certain specialist
installations of Ubuntu. It provides for the following situations:
- creating pre-configured OEM systems;
- setting up automated deployments;
- upgrading from older installations without network access;
- LVM and/or RAID partitioning;
- installs on systems with less than about 320MB 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:
- PC (Intel x86) alternate install CD
- For almost all PCs. This includes most machines with Intel/AMD/etc type
processors and almost all computers that run Microsoft Windows, as well as
newer Apple Macintosh systems based on Intel processors. Choose this if you
are at all unsure.
- 64-bit PC (AMD64) alternate install CD
- Choose this to take full advantage of computers based on the AMD64 or EM64T
