Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex)
Select an image
Ubuntu is distributed on two types of images described below.
Install/live DVD
The combined install/live DVD allows you either to install Ubuntu permanently on a computer, or (by entering 'live' at the boot prompt) to try Ubuntu without changing your computer at all.There are two images available, each for a different type of computer:
- PC (Intel x86) install/live DVD
- 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) install/live DVD
- Choose this to take full advantage of computers based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon, Core 2). 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.
Ultra-mobile PC USB image
The ultra-mobile PC USB image allows you to try Ubuntu without changing your computer at all, and at your option to install it permanently later. This USB image is optimized for ultra-mobile PCs with screens up to 10". You will need at least 256MB of RAM to install from this image.
There is one image available:
- PC (Intel x86) ultra-mobile PC USB image
- 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.
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 or the USB Image Writing Guide.
