+
+## What This Guide Covers
+
+This guide provides an overview of the packages, tools and settings available in the Noble Numbat environment.
+
+## Using Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat)
+
+To route your builds to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Noble, add the following to your `.travis.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+dist: noble
+```
+{: data-file=".travis.yml"}
+
+## Environment common to all Ubuntu 24.04 images
+
+All preinstalled software not provided by the distro is installed from an official release — either a prebuilt binary if available, or a source release built with default options.
+For preinstalled language interpreters, a standard version manager like `rvm` is used if available for the language.
+
+### Version Control
+
+| package | version  |
+|:--------|:---------|
+| git     | `2.48.1` |
+| git-lfs | `3.4.1`  |
+| hg      | `6.7.2`    |
+| svn     | `1.14.1` |
+{: style="width: 30%" }
+

+| alias  | version  |
+| :----- | :------- |
+| `3.12` | `3.12.8` |
+| `3.13` | `3.13.1` |
+{: style="width: 30%" }
+
+
+## JavaScript and Node.js support
+
+* For builds specifying `language: node_js`, `nvm` is automatically updated to the latest version at build time.
+* The following NodeJS versions are preinstalled: `18.20.6`, `20.18.3` and `22.14.0`.
+
+## Go support
+
+* Pre-installed Go version: `1.23.4`.
+
+* Additional Go versions can be installed during build time by specifying the language version with the `go:` key.
