Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolian is now available for downloads.

The now long awaited Ubuntu 12.04 LTS has finally arrived and is now available for download. Don't let the term LTS confuse much, it just means Long Term Support. Open source software are released more frequently then commercial ones and because of this if you have an old version of open source software you are less likely to get support for it. Hence Ubuntu releases the LTS versions which help them provide support for the OS for a long term, in this case 5 years. So if you install Ubuntu 12.04 ( which I strongly recommend), then you can get support for any trouble for at least the next five years.

Ubuntu 12.04 Beta1 released.
