Our long-term support (LTS) releases are supported for five years – ideal for organisations undertaking large deployments. To install Ubuntu, you’ll need to create an installation CD or USB stick once your download is complete.
With our officially supported installer for Windows, you can install and uninstall Ubuntu easily and safely.
If you’d rather order an official Ubuntu CD and install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS that way, they are available from the Ubuntu shop, at just £5.00 for a pack of five, plus postage and packing.
