What is Yebuntu?
Yebuntu is Developer's Ubuntu. It is the standard release 8.04.1 of the Ubuntu GNOME desktop, but with additional utilities for the programmer. The utilities were specially selected for programmers using C, C++, Java, Perl, Python, MySQL, and LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL-Perl). There are no IDEs (integrated development environments) included, so you will not find Eclipse and NetBeans, but the text editors vi and gedit are available by default. We have also included the Microsoft truetype fonts for OpenOffice, and the PC^2 programming contest software. We have included both manpages and manpages-dev, glibc-doc, libgmp3-doc (multiprecision library), perl-doc, mysql-doc, and openjdk-doc.
The latest yebuntu is now based on the newly-released Ubuntu 8.10, also known as Intrepid Ibex. We call this new released of yebuntu as yebuntu-8.10.

What's in yebuntu.iso?
We fixed /etc/fstab so that USB thumb drives can be mounted and used by normal users.
[Pc^2 is not in yebuntu-8.10, sorry] We also fixed PC^2 so that its home directory is /usr/lib/pc2, its data files are in /var/lib/pc2, its log files are in /var/log/pc2, and its configuration files are in /etc/pc2. All that a normal user has to do is go to /usr/lib/pc2, and then run the PC^2 server as follows:
sudo pc2server
To run the PC^2 team client, a normal user has to do the following: go to /usr/lib/pc2, and run the PC^2 team client as follows:
sudo pc2team
Enjoy!
