EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Canonicals Ubuntu 6.10 makes a great Linux desktop and can also perform well in server roles. While Version 6.10, also known as Edgy Eft, hangs on to most of the qualities that led us to give its predecessor an Analysts Choice nod, were holding off on extending that accolade to Edgy because it does not offer the same lengthened support term that Ubuntu 6.06 does.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS USABILITY EXCELLENT SECURITY GOOD HARDWARE SUPPORT GOOD SOFTWARE SUPPORT EXCELLENT MANAGEMENT GOOD
