Review of Terms. This video will give you a chance to reflect on some terms unique to Ubuntu, or at least to Debian based distributions. There are a number of these terms explicitly cited in the UCP curriculum and are there for fair game for the exam. If you're already comfortable with the way Ubuntu works, you should already know most or all of what I'll describe in this video. But I recognize not everyone who takes this course is fully up to speed on the ins and outs of the Ubuntu community. So I cover those unique terms in the UCP curriculum. While I've covered most of these terms in previous videos, I'm a believer that repetition is the best way to help you to remember new terms. But first, let's go over a few key words from the UCP curriculum that I haven't already covered. Minimal, that's a reference to the minimal CD, an ISO image typically under 20 megabytes which can be used to install Ubuntu Linux over a network, either from a main Ubuntu server or from one very geographically closer to you. Boot, that's a reference to the Boot prompt available on the installation CD from where you can add custom settings. For example, form the installation menu shown here, I press F6 once and as you can see from Boot options, there are a number of Boot prompt settings. Germinate, that refers to a package which takes a preseed file and expands it to a complete list of packages along with their dependencies. Once you have such a list of packages, you can set up a custom repository or even a custom CD from where you can install the customized Ubuntu Linux you want. Now, to review those terms already covered in other Ubuntu videos. If you don't want to hear terms such as long term support again, you can stop this video here. You should already be familiar with basic types of Ubuntu releases such as Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu. You've already release code names form Warty Warthog 4.10 released in October 2004 through Intrepid Ibex 8.10 released in October of 2008. You should remember there have been 2 releases with long-term support. That's 3 years of support on the Desktop and 5 years of support on the server. These releases are Dapper Drape 6.06 and Hardy Heron 8.04. You should remember the basic support structures built by Canonical for Ubuntu Linux. Yes, there's the paid support, but more importantly, the community options include Rosetta for translations, The Fridge for the latest Ubuntu News, ShipIt which allows registered users to get free Ubuntu CDs, the Freedom Toaster, the vending machine for Ubuntu CDs in South Africa, as well as the Launch Pad system for bugs, answers, and more.
