Thanks to every1, I just got the link but my connection is terrible, transfer rate now is 12KBps, but rises to 50KBps at night. It will take me a week or two to complete the downloads.
All the same, thanks to every1 that posted instructions!

It's not called Ubuntu Ultimate anymore. The Mahn was pretty much told he had to change the name.

This is the new website. It has Ultimate Edition 1.6 there.

I think it's totally unfair! For me is ALWAYS Ubuntu Ultimate.

I think it's totally unfair! For me is ALWAYS Ubuntu Ultimate.

Its fair because the name Ubuntu can't be used without it being an official project.

[ippokratis]

I don't see any official character in fluxbuntu, elbuntu, geubuntu. It's not "just" Ubuntu, it's Ubuntu Ultimate. Do we have "trade mark" problems in Linux too?

[wolfen69]

canonical owns the rights to the name Ubuntu. just like any other company with a product. do what you want with the source code, just dont mess with the name.

Here's the letter that caused the name change......

Hi,

I'm Jane Silber, COO of Canonical. I wrote to you several months ago
about the use of the Ubuntu trademarks in your product and website but
didn't get a reply. I thought I'd send another message in the event
that for some reason you never received the first one.

While we greatly appreciate your enthusiasm for Ubuntu, and appreciate
the time and effort you devote to the project, I'm afraid there are
trademark related issues with your project. We've tried to define a
reasonable trademark policy that allows people to customise Ubuntu, and

use the marks to promote the project, while at the same preserving the
integrity of the marks. In case you haven't seen it, that policy is at

http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy

There are several distinct but related issues with the Ultimate
Edition and ubuntusoftware.info. Specifically,

- Ultimate Edition includes software which fundamentally is not
Ubuntu, and calling it such confuses people and damages the Ubuntu
project. People should know what they're getting when they install
something called Ubuntu. We certainly encourage people to make custom
versions of Ubuntu, and we have established the "remix" concept and
terminology to allow use of the trademark if the changes are minimal or

include only software from the Ubuntu repositories. But we can't let
something which is significantly different from Ubuntu (which your
product is) to be called Ubuntu. Hosting your own repositories also
means that people aren't using Ubuntu software. It is of course fine to

host repositories and distribute the software - the issue is that you
are attaching the brand, quality and assurance messages of the Ubuntu
marks to something which is not Ubuntu.

- the website itself is also misleading. We allow people to use the
word
Ubuntu in domains that are non-profit, community advocacy sites. But
your site is a promotional site for a different product (not Ubuntu, as

explained above). Additionally, it is designed and written in a way
which easily confuses people into thinking that it actually is from the

Ubuntu project. The use of the Ubuntu logo, the design, the domain
itself, the repositories all mislead people into thinking they are
using
Ubuntu.

I'm happy to talk about this on the phone if you prefer. I can call
you,
or I can be reached at +44 20 7630 2472. Again, I'd like to stress
that
we appreciate your enthusiasm for Ubuntu, and that the basic activities

of what you are doing is fine - it's one of the freedoms and powers
provided by open source software. But I'm afraid that using the Ubuntu

name and logo (in product name, on website, etc) to refer to your own
product/project (i.e, not Ubuntu) simply doesn't work and needs to be
changed.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Jane

I've read the letter in UUE Forum. But I can't still understand what's the harm that UUE cause to Canonical! If anyone wants to use Ubuntu, is free to do it, as well as the other who prefers UUE. I don't understand that "trade mark" theories. But, it's just my opinion.

i feel that canonical has every right in the world to defend their trademarks. if anyone in the world were allowed to do what they wanted with the Ubuntu name, it could definitely tarnish what canonical is trying to achieve.

it doesnt bother me a bit that they want to protect their name and logo. more power to 'em.

That's right! But I think that's the price for the success of UUE!

Hi Guys,

My "first post" on this Forum. Hoping to get good solution.. :)

I tried to install Ultimate Ubuntu 1.6 on my laptop but somehow am not able to complete my installation successfully

My Systems hangs everytime after the 7 steps of installation.

"Fetching File System" at "15%" on progress bar


I could sucessfully installing UBUNTU 7.04 (both 32 & b4 bit), UBUNTU 7.10, Ultimate Ubuntu 1.4 on the same laptop. But everytime I try to install Ultimate Ubuntu 1.6 it does not work.

Laptop config
Compaq AU 3029
AMD turion 64 bit
512 RAM
80 GB HDD (10 GB allocated for Linux install)

Parition
total size 10 GB

Is 1.6 available as a CD iso? I can't burn DVD's.

Thanks! :)

[exneo002]

if you can afford it buy the dvd or go to a linux store and ask for one lastly an earlier edition has a cd just make it and install it and upgrade to gnarly gnome
