Hablando con @moribundo y @homer me ha surgido el hacer esta publicación.

Ellos ya lo saben pero para el resto: lo creáis o no, antes las distros de Linux (y resto de cosas) las conseguías en CD porque no había banda ancha regalada para casi todos. Aquí algunos de los olvidados 😉

Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake (Alpha 6) on 86Box with Socket 370 [1998]

We’re now back with the sixth alpha of Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake, which was released on June 2006! Two months shy of the 20th anniversary of the first Ubuntu LTS release, we are very excited for this experiment on 86Box.

Our focus in this article is testing Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake on an 86Box emulated machine with a Socket 370 [1998] motherboard. You can download it from here.

We’ve configured the virtual machine as follows:

We’ve configured a virtual machine to run with:

• Machine type: [1998] Socket 370
• Machine: [i440BX] ASUS CUBX
• CPU: Intel Celeron (Mendocino) @ 533 MHz
• Memory: 256 MB
• Video: [AGP] 3dfx Voodoo3 3000
• Keyboard: AT Keyboard
• Mouse: PS/2 Mouse
• Sound card: [ISA16] Gravis UltraSound
• Floppy disk controller: Internal device
• Hard disk controller 1: Internal device
• New hard disk: UbuntuDapper.vhd
  • C/H/S: 16644/16/63
  • Size: 8192 MB
  • Bus: IDE
  • Channel: 0:0
• CD-ROM drive 1: ATAPI (0:1) TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-6702B 1007 (48x)

Once everything is configured as above, we can now start the virtual machine. Insert the Ubuntu 6.06 installation disc called ubuntu-6.06-alpha6-install-i386.iso to the CD-ROM reader, then configure BIOS as necessary.

You’ll see this main menu where we can choose to install either to the hard disk, in OEM mode, or as a server. Let’s choose the first option, which is a normal install.

Afterwards, the old-fashioned installer that looks similar to what a Debian textual installer would look like appears.

After we have chosen a language, we are asked for our location.

Finally, the installer asks us for the keyboard layout we need to select.

As soon as we press ENTER, the installer starts looking for the Ubuntu installation disc and load additional installer components after searching for CD-ROM hardware.

After that, the installer tried to find the network adapter. Since we don’t intend to have one installed, because this system is unsupported as of long ago, we have answered No when the installer asked us if we have FireWire Ethernet.

After that, we’re prompted for the host name.

Then, the installer asked us if we need to provide proxy information for Ubuntu mirrors. We left it blank.

Afterwards, the installer started finding hard disks and starting the partitioner.

The installer found an 8 GB hard disk, so we’ve agreed to install Ubuntu to it by erasing the whole disk.

Afterwards, we’re prompted for the full name, the user name, and the password of the new account that our Ubuntu installation will contain.

The installation then started from this stage.

It took a considerable amount of time, especially when it had to do with installing and configuring the desktop packages. After a lot of patience, the installer finally set everything up in the new installation, such as users, and gave us a congratulatory message below.

When we pressed ENTER, the system automatically rebooted to the new Ubuntu installation.

Then, the login screen appeared.

We signed in with our username and password, and the GNOME splash screen appeared with “Dapper Drake!” drawn over it, with “THIS IS NOT THE FINAL ARTWORK!” at the top. Those two writings don’t appear in the final version of Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, suggesting that this is the pre-release version.

Once the desktop gets loaded, the desktop looks like this:

We can verify that this alpha version of Ubuntu 6.06 LTS uses Linux version 2.6.15.

Applications, such as Firefox and gedit, work, too.
