Ubuntu 6.10, codenamed Edgy Eft, was released by Canonical in October 2006 and shipped with a distinctive set of system sounds in its default GNOME 2 desktop. The shutdown melody played as the session ended, a small piece of audio branding that helped give early Linux desktops personality. Clips of these old system sounds spread on YouTube and Linux forums as users documented retro distributions. The jingle still appears in nostalgia compilations and memes about vintage computers, remembered fondly by people who ran Linux in the mid-2000s.
