Ubuntu - Linux for Human Beings

'Ubuntu is an ancient African word, meaning 'humanity to others'. Ubuntu also means 'I am what I am because of who we all are'. The Ubuntu Linux distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world.

The Ubuntu community is built on the ideas enshrined in the Ubuntu Manifesto: that software should be available free of charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities, and that people should have the freedom to customise and alter their software in whatever way they see fit.
