Long-term support (LTS) version of popular desktop operating system generally available on 29 April

Canonical announced today the upcoming release of Ubuntu LTS Desktop Edition, the latest version of the popular Linux desktop distribution, which includes three years of support through free security and maintenance updates. It will be available for free download on Thursday 29 April and will be pre-installed on a range of machines from a number of manufacturers in Summer

The desktop edition of Ubuntu LTS will feature extensive design work, faster boot speed, social network integration, online services and the Ubuntu One Music Store.

“Ubuntu LTS challenges the perceptions of the Linux desktop, bringing a whole new category of users to the world of Ubuntu,” said Jane Silber, CEO, Canonical. “Changes like the new look and feel and the addition of a music store, layered on top of our relentless focus on delivering an intuitive and attractive user experience for new and existing Ubuntu users – these are the bridging elements to the mainstream market that our community, our partners and our users really want. Long-term support makes Ubuntu LTS very attractive to corporate IT as well.”

New in LTS

• Boot speed

  Noticeably quicker on almost any machine and super-fast on SSD-based machines such as netbooks, which means users can speed straight to the browser for fast web access.

• Social from the start

  The new ‘Me Menu’ in Ubuntu LTS consolidates the process of accessing and updating social networks including Facebook, Digg, Twitter and eunic-brussels.eu The Me Menu also integrates chat channels so users can talk with friends or colleagues on Google Talk, MSN, IRC and nearly every network.

• Ubuntu One

  Enhanced desktop integration for the online service means files and folders can be shared and saved on the cloud more easily. Bookmark and contacts sharing has been added, speeding the move from personal computer to personal computing.

• Ubuntu One Music Store

  Music from the world’s largest labels and greatest bands available direct to Ubuntu users through the default music player. Purchase tracks, store in Ubuntu One and share DRM-free music from one location across multiple computers and devices.

• Ubuntu Software Centre

  An easy way to find new software, and keep track of it once it’s installed in a new, sleeker interface. Users can also single out software provided by Ubuntu, by Canonical partners or by developers who use Canonical’s Launchpad Personal Package Archive (PPA) hosting service.

• Ubuntu Netbook Edition (UNE)

  As well as benefiting from the improvements in the Desktop Edition, netbook users will see even faster boot speeds on SSD-based devices, faster suspend/resume that will extend battery life – and the industry-leading interface for these smaller screens.

Availability

Ubuntu LTS Desktop Edition and Ubuntu Netbook Edition are entirely free of charge and will be widely available for download from eunic-brussels.eu on Thursday 29 April

At that time, users can upgrade directly to Ubuntu LTS from the previous Ubuntu LTS version as well as the Ubuntu release from October
