eWEEK.com recently reviewed the latest version of Ubuntu Linux, Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. As they compared the linux desktop operating system with other linux distros, they commented in their article "Ubuntu 6.06 Is Current Desktop Linux Champ" that:
Canonical's Ubuntu 6.06 LTS is an excellent Linux-based operating system—so excellent, in fact, that it not only earned eWEEK Labs' Analyst's Choice designation but has also become our clear favorite among Linux desktop distributions.
They also discussed in another article on whether Ubuntu would pose any threat to Window Vista. Though I believe it won't, but I strongly recommend you to give it a try. Here's some screenshots.
Speaking of Ubuntu, I just got my CDs yesterday, after requesting for them on June 8th, 2006. If you don't want to wait that long (well, it's more than 1 month for me) and you live somewhere near Malaysia, I have a few extras. Just leave a message in this post and I'll try to mail it to you as soon as possible.

Novell has just released SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 yesterday. If you are interested to buy SUSE, go here:
Alternatively, to get yourself a free or open source one, download it here: openSUSE.org. You may also get a CD delivered to you via The Linux Store.
I also came across a review by DesktopLinux on the new SUSE. Take a preview before you download!

Just fill up your mailing address and The Linux Store will mail Linux CDs to your house. At the moment, they are giving out following distros:
- Suse
- Fedora
- Mandriva
- Gentoo
- Debian
- Knoppix
Besides those, there's also an other distro section for you to fill up whatever Linux distribution you want.
Get your CDs here: The Linux Store [free.thelinuxstore.ca]
It seems like Ubuntu is not being included in the list because Ubuntu have provided the service itself. So, if you are interested in Ubuntu go here: Ubuntu (Linux) 6.06 LTS.
In case you have problem making up your mind to determine which Linux distro to use, go here: Choosing The Right Linux Distro.

Heard from szehau that Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Long Term Support) is out. I'm sure that I'm quite outdated. I've just requested for the CDs.

I've just received my free Ubuntu Linux CDs I requested few weeks ago. It took a long time to travel from The Netherlands to Malaysia. I'm still fixing and configuring my old Pentium III PC for it.
If you are interested to try Ubuntu, download it or request for the CDs from the official Ubuntu website.
