Ubuntu ISOs for x86, PowerPC, and AMD64 are now available in
/afs/sipb.mit.edu/contrib/ubuntu/
Both live and install CDs for each architecture are available.
From the Ubuntu web site (http://www.ubuntu.com/):
Ubuntu is a free, open source operating system that starts with the
breadth of Debian and adds regular releases (every six months), a clear
focus on the user and usability (it should "Just Work", TM) and a
commitment to security updates with 18 months of support for every
release. Ubuntu ships with the latest Gnome release as well as a
selection of server and desktop software that makes for a comfortable
desktop experience off a single installation CD.
As with Debian, Ubuntu can run many Athena services, such as Kerberos,
AFS, zephyr, and printing. Instructions on how to configure Ubuntu to
do so are available from
