What is the file size of an *buntu iso image?
What is the file size of an *buntu iso image? I have limited internet, and I don't want to use too much of it. I want to put it on a disk or USB thumb drive and install it on a unused computer.
Solution 1:
These are numbers are taken directly from the iso files I've downloaded. Also if you download your iso from http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.10/ or http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ it lists the file sizes beside the names, in the directory browser at the page bottom.
13.10:
Ubuntu 13.10 - Desktop X86-64 = 883 MB
Ubuntu 13.10 - Desktop X86-32 = 895 MB
Ubuntu 13.10 - Server X86-64 = 672 MB
Ubuntu 13.10 - Server X86-32 = 658 MB
Lubuntu 13.10 - Desktop X86-64 = 702 MB
12.04:
Ubuntu 12.04 - Desktop X86-64 = 698 MB
Ubuntu 12.04 - Desktop X86-32 = 701 MB
Ubuntu 12.04.3 - Server X86-64 = 665 MB
Ubuntu 12.04.3 - Server X86-32 = 648 MB
Lubuntu 12.04 - Desktop X86-64 = 697 MB
Kubuntu 12.04.3 - Desktop X86-64 = 707 MB
Xubuntu 12.04.3 - Desktop X86-64 = 712 MB
14.04:
Ubuntu 14.04 - Desktop DAILYBUILD-JAN-21-2014 X86-64 = 912 MB
Solution 2:
According to my Downloads directory, the download size for the 64-bit 13.10 desktop ISO is 904,192 KB (883 MB).
Solution 3:
It depends on which image and which release you are downloading. Everything prior to 13.10 hovers around 700MB so it can fit on a standard CD. 13.10 is a bit larger around 900MB. I believe Canonical aims to keep the LTS releases under 700MB.
Solution 4:
It says on the download page! Almost every browser including yourse shows how big is the file you are downloading!
Solution 5:
32bit: 0.713867 GB
64bit: 0.71582 GB
