debian-news.net has compiled a post of numerous
Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Edubuntu 6.06 LTS reviews.
http://debian-news.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=981

The core desktop installation fits on a single CD.  Security
updates (and major bug fixes) are backported so there are
relatively few updates on a freshly installed system.  I
installed it on a machine yesterday and it only needed 90
updates.  

Comparatively, a minimal install of Fedora Core 5 last week
required over 340 package updates (including dependencies) with
over 247 Mb to download.  A not so minimal install of FC5 with
Office and Development packages selected required 454 packages
(including dependencies) with a download size of over 541 Mb.

There are talks that Ubuntu will release a 'point' release to
this latest release.
