Our Ubuntu images have full apt support for installing packages. The packages are mirrored locally on our package mirror scratch.
Ubuntu 10.04. Reverse path filtering disabled in sysctl.conf because the feature can break connectivity. Updated to kernel 2.6.32-31 with IPOD; gawk favored over mawk; and with better compatibility with nve on bvx2200.
Ubuntu 8.04. We will continue to upate this image as long as it is supported by Ubuntu.
