Ubuntu Linux is one of the most popular Linux distros in the world. This tight and well-tuned system is easy to learn and use - with a sensible user interface and lots of extras for the business and home. Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" rolls out the new ultra-friendly Ubuntu Software Center package tool, as well as important upgrades to core utilities such as the Evince document viewer and the Grub boot manager. Elsewhere in the mix, you'll find the Ubuntu One synchronization service, the Quickly application development interface, and lots of improvements to the Bluetooth framework.
We're proud to bring you 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" with this month's DVD.

| DVD Boot |
|
Place this DVD in the drive and restart your system. If your computer doesn't start, make sure your BIOS is configured to boot from a DVD. Enter the BIOS setup menu (see your vendor documentation), make sure DVD boot is enabled, and make sure the DVD drive appears before the hard drive in the boot order. |
| Double-sided DVD |
|
This DVD is a double-sided disc. A DVD device always reads the side of the disc that is facing down. This DVD is labeled like a normal DVD - the label you see as you place the disk into the tray applies to the data on the opposite side. If you are installing the 32-bit version, the 32-bit label should be facing up in the tray. |
