The Ubuntu team is very pleased to announce the release of Ubuntu
12.04 LTS (Long-Term Support) for Desktop, Server, Cloud, and Core
products.
Codenamed ?Precise Pangolin?, 12.04 continues Ubuntu?s proud tradition
of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a
high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution. The team has been hard
at work through this cycle, introducing a few new features and
improving quality control.
To be a bit more precise about what we?re releasing today?
There are 54 product images and 2 cloud images being shipped with this
12.04 LTS release, with translations available in 41 languages.
The Ubuntu project?s 12.04 archive currently has 39,226 binary
packages in it, built from 19,179 source packages, so lots of good
starting points for your imagination!
For PC users, Ubuntu 12.04 supports laptops, desktops, and netbooks
with a unified look and feel based on an updated version of the
desktop shell called ?Unity?, which introduces ?Head-Up Display?
search capabilities. Finding and installing software using the Ubuntu
Software Centre is now easier thanks to improvements in speed, search
and usability.
Ubuntu Server 12.04 has made it much easier to provision, deploy,
host, manage, and orchestrate enterprise data centre infrastructure
services with the introduction of new technologies such as ?Metal as
a Service? (MAAS), the Juju Charm Store, and the latest OpenStack
version, codenamed Essex. These technologies further position Ubuntu
Server
as the best OS for scale-out computing.
