It is your Freedom...

Ubuntu ("oo-BOON-too") is a South African ethical ideology focusing on people's allegiances and relations with each other. A rough translation would be "humanity towards others". The Ubuntu operating system brings the spirit of ubuntu to the software world.

Linux is often used to refer to the operating system originally created by Linus Torvalds. However, technically, it refers only to the kernel, the core of an operating system. Many of the utilities and other programs were first developed by the GNU (GNU is not UNIX) project.

Ubuntu,built around the Linux kernel, provides a free and open source operating system that embodies the philosopy of ubuntu. Software should be available free of charge. Programs should be usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities. People should have the freedom to customize and alter their software as they see fit.

Ubuntu is a complete platform for your computing needs. It comes preinstalled with office, productivity, internet and media applications. It is maintained and managed by its community of users, administrators and developers.
