New to Ubuntu, I need to know more about it for a project(Ubuntu 5.0)
I am doing a project for one of my classes and I need to know what all is there on Ubuntu and I am supposed to create assignments that I can give my classmates for them to do.
If you can help, that would be excellent!!!
Sorry!!!!!, the 0 in 5.0 is supposed to be 10 so it's 5.10 instead of 5.0 Sorry!!!
It's still old. The first digit is the year and the second number is the month. So 5.10 was release in October of 2005. I believe the current version is 8.04 (April 2008). A lot has changed since 5.10...
The question is how familiar with Ubuntu you are?The best way to know it would be to get the latest version and to start using it.
What are you traying to acomplish?If it's just to show the difference betwen Windows and GNU/Linux distributions in a point and click way,by using that old Ubuntu distro,then that's not good.Do you want to show them how it all works,but not in a tehnical manner,then what's the open source all about,etc.etc.Please give us more informations.

The reason why I need to know all this is because my teacher gave us an assignment to make up 3 assignments that our classmates can do on Ubuntu. And I am not all that familiar with it. can you do coding/programming on it? if so what/where is it?

That sounds like a perfect assignment for your classmates right there. Have them figure-out if Ubuntu can be used for programming, and what programming tools does it include.
