Ultimate Edition: the goal of the project is to create a complete, seamlessly integrated, visually stimulating, and easy-to-install operating system.

Ultimate Edition, first released in December 2006, is a fork of Ubuntu.

The goal of the project is to create a complete, seamlessly integrated, visually stimulating, and easy-to-install operating system.

Single-button upgrade is one of several special characteristics of this distribution.

Other main features include custom desktop and theme with 3D effects, support for a wide range of networking options, including WiFi and Bluetooth, and integration of many extra applications and package repositories.

Ultimate Edition 3.0 "Gamers", an Ubuntu-based live DVD with a collection of Linux games, has been released: "I would like to announce the release of Ultimate Edition 3.0 'Gamers'. Ultimate Edition 3.0 'Gamers' is the first 'Gamers' release built from the 'Lite' edition. This allowed us to add more games while maintaining a fine selection of applications for everyday use. 'Gamers' not only comes with over 30 games that rock out of the box, it includes emulators allowing access to virtually thousands of additional games. Still not happy? WINE, winetricks and PlayOnLinux is also pre-installed, allowing you to play your Windows games. Ultimate Edition Gamers 3.0 has the most games pre-installed of any release to-date."

See the release announcement release notes for a complete list of included games and some screenshots.

Adding Ultimate Edition repository is a fairly easy straight forward process. There are many ways to do this I am going to show multiple ways of accomplishing the same task, you can use what ever it is you find easiest. Please only use one method or you may have duplicates in your sources.list. Another option is to use Ultamatix it will add it for you.
