We have just released Ubuntu CE v1.5!

Due to Dapper's LTS (Long Term Support) status, Ubuntu CE will continue to be based on it. We may be moving to Edgy in a future release, but we want to continue to balance features with stability.

With this release we focused on the fixing some issues with the LiveCD installer. The LiveCD installer was previously overwriting the Ubuntu CE sources.list file. This has been fixed! After installation on previous releases the Install icon was still available as a menu option. This has been fixed as well!

We have also made a subtle, but very important change to the Ubuntu CE Installer, Upgrade_me script, Convert_me script, Web Content Filtering Only script, and the Dansguardian GUI Only script. They now not only backup your sources.list file, but they also search your existing sources.list file for the needed repositories. If the needed repositories are not in your sources.list file they are appended to it.

The Configure Parental Controls GUI has been updated to include a few new features. You can now easily adjust the Naughtyness Limit with the GUI. You can also Lock/Unlock your Firefox proxy settings via the GUI. The Firefox proxy settings come locked by default, but if you need to unlock them for some reason you can do that via the GUI.

The Ubuntu CE Installer has had one major update as well. We have added the Icthux Desktop to the available items to install. This allows an Ubuntu CE user to easily add Ichthux to their existing Ubuntu CE installation. This way you can log into Ichthux (KDE) or Ubuntu CE (Gnome) at login.

Where can one find the Ubuntu CE forum? I have looked for it. And, where can one download Ubuntu CE?

You should be able to find everything that you are looking for at the Ubuntu CE project site, www.christianubuntu.com (http://ubuntuforums.org/www.christianubuntu.com). If you have any question just let me know.

Who made the dansguardian gui? I noticed after installing v1.4 on the Edgy install I did yesterday, my computer upgraded it and added the new gui features before I saw the 1.5 script.

I went to the "convert_me" download page, and noticed it said it would work with Dapper 6.06.1. Does it also work with Dapper 6.06? I would like to keep as much stuff as possible on the computer.

Thanks,
Ben

I built the Dansguardian GUI. I am not sure how you got the updates before using the upgrade_me script for v1.5. That is bizarre!

Yes it should work fine on Dapper 6.06. Dapper 6.06.1 was a maintenance release to include more updates. If you have been keeping your Dapper 6.06 updated then you should actually be running Dapper 6.06.1.

I'll have to check it again. After I ran the 1.4 script, Edgy did some upgrades. I didn't see what all of the upgrades were, but I think I had the new options. I'm about to get the 1.5 script, so i'll see how it works.

Let me know how the 1.5 script goes. That is definitely the GUI for v1.5. hmm? :-k

I used the 1.5 script and it went fine and seems to be working fine. The only thing that you need to do to use CE in Edgy is change the Automatix repository to the one for Edgy and upgrade it, and add the splash screen if you want.
