Kubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)

Select an image

Kubuntu is distributed on three types of images described below.

Install CD

The install CD allows you to install Kubuntu permanently on a computer.

There are three images available, each for a different type of computer:

PC (Intel x86) install CD

For almost all PCs. This includes most machines with Intel/AMD/etc type processors and almost all computers that run Microsoft Windows. Choose this if you are at all unsure.

PowerPC install CD

For Apple Macintosh G3, G4, and G5 computers, including iBooks and PowerBooks.

64-bit PC (AMD64) install CD

Choose this to take full advantage of computers based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon). If you have a non-64-bit processor made by AMD, or if you need full support for 32-bit code, use the Intel x86 images instead.

Live CD

The live CD allows you to try Kubuntu without changing your computer at all.

There are three images available, each for a different type of computer:

PC (Intel x86) live CD

For almost all PCs. This includes most machines with Intel/AMD/etc type processors and almost all computers that run Microsoft Windows. Choose this if you are at all unsure.

PowerPC live CD

For Apple Macintosh G3, G4, and G5 computers, including iBooks and PowerBooks.

64-bit PC (AMD64) live CD

Choose this to take full advantage of computers based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon). If you have a non-64-bit processor made by AMD, or if you need full support for 32-bit code, use the Intel x86 images instead.

Install/live DVD

The combined install/live DVD allows you either to install Kubuntu permanently on a computer, or (by entering 'live' at the boot prompt) to try Kubuntu without changing your computer at all.

There are three images available, each for a different type of computer:

PC (Intel x86) install/live DVD

For almost all PCs. This includes most machines with Intel/AMD/etc type processors and almost all computers that run Microsoft Windows. Choose this if you are at all unsure.

PowerPC install/live DVD

64-bit PC (AMD64) install/live DVD

Choose this to take full advantage of computers based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon). If you have a non-64-bit processor made by AMD, or if you need full support for 32-bit code, use the Intel x86 images instead.
