_@TOPIC:

If you have read the first post and/or you're interested in running Ubuntu!
You can post the version u need, and also your computer specification.
That will help us decide on what version will suite you!

We're thinking of making the Ubuntu Ultimate Editions the default for the loco Team since it has everything to get a beginner going!
I am downloading the latest version i.e (Ubuntu Ultimate 1.6) and will be done by evening today, although - this version has not been officially released, you can confirm that by clicking on this link

I will notify everyone once the .iso is down!

I have just finished downloading the ubuntu ultimate based on the recently released gutsy gibbon,  right now am about to boot into it to check out how it goes

Awesome Shots man. .
Mine should be down in a few minutes!

mehn This ubuntu ultimate is too awesome,  its just sooo cool,  mehn am speechless,    yeah everybody here know that iam an advocate of ubuntu ,  and i have always talked about just how cool the os is compared to windows,  installing ubuntu ultimate 1.6 just takes trhings to another height  ,  its the perfect linux os for the new user who just want everythign to work out of the box,  without editing or installing any extra stuff,  everything has been installed for u,  all your codecs , everything ,  wine works like magic,  i was even able to install some windows program using wine and it worked , that is why ubuntu nigeria loco has decided that we would be making it our official distro of choice,

mehn no fear o i have been using linux for over 4 months now and i have always do so dual booting it with windows ,  the process it very easy to do,  don't let any body scare u, ]
