These images are vulnerable to USN-612-1, a very serious flaw in the cryptographic library used to generate encryption keys. It is essential that you apply all security updates after installation before making any use of your system.

Ubuntu educational add-on CD

The Ubuntu educational add-on CD contains additional useful packages, including many educational programs. It requires that an Ubuntu desktop system already be installed.

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

PC (Intel x86) Ubuntu educational add-on CD

For almost all PCs. This includes most machines with Intel/AMD/etc type processors and almost all computers that run Microsoft Windows, as well as newer Apple Macintosh systems based on Intel processors. Choose this if you are at all unsure.

64-bit PC (AMD64) Ubuntu educational add-on CD

Choose this to take full advantage of computers based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon, Core 2). 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.

A full list of available files, including BitTorrent files, can be found below.

If you need help burning these images to disk, see this guide.
