Mark Shuttleworth has announced the name of Ubuntu 6.04:

In keeping with tradition, it's time to name the next+1 release of Ubuntu.

Ubuntu 6.04(ish) will be special, because as a community we are going to commit to supporting it for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. In Montreal (October 30-Nov 6, all hackers welcome, companies send your developers, chip in and define it 'cos we all have to live with it, details at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBelowZero etc) we will be figuring out what changes are needed to the release process to ensure we can deliver on that commitment. We're likely to want to be a bit more conservative in the feature goals, and freeze a little longer.

The Preview Release of Edubuntu 5.10 has been released. Here the announcement:

This is the beta release for the new distro, Edubuntu - code named "Breezy Badger". The Preview Release consists of an Install CD for the PC (Intel x86), 64-bit PC (AMD64) and PowerPC (Apple iBook and Powerbook, G4 and G5) architectures.

Edubuntu is being developed as a version of the Ubuntu operating system, which is suitable for classroom use. The aim is that an educator with limited technical knowledge and skill will be able to set up a computer lab, or establish an on-line learning environment, in an hour or less, and then administer that environment without having to become a fully-fledged Linux geek. This is our first step towards that goal.
