Dapper Flight 5

Everything is stabilizing, and Ubuntu 6.04 will certainly be a top-notch professional OS. Now that all of the lower level improvements have been made, it is time to close the hood and rub on a coat of wax. This week brings us Dapper Flight 5, the fifth alpha release of Ubuntu 6.04 - The Dapper Drake. With Flight 5 comes a new and improved Human Look-and-Feel, a few new GUI power tools, and much more. In addition to Ubuntu-specific improvements, GNOME 2.14 final is now in Ubuntu 6.04 as well. On to the screenshots!

Note: This is still an alpha release. Do not install it on production machines. The final stable version will be released in April of 2006.
