About Ubuntu
Linux was already established as an enterprise server platform in
2004. But free software was still not a part of everyday life for most
computer users. That's why Mark Shuttleworth gathered a small team of
developers from one of the most established Linux projects – Debian -
and set out to create an easy-to-use Linux desktop, Ubuntu. The
vision for Ubuntu is part social and part economic: free software,
available free of charge to everybody on the same terms, and funded
through a portfolio of services provided by Canonical. The first version of Ubuntu was based on the GNOME desktop. We have
since added a KDE edition, Kubuntu, and a server edition. All of the
editions of Ubuntu share common infrastructure and software, making
Ubuntu a unique platform that scales from consumer electronics to the
desktop, and into the cloud for enterprise computing. Developers can
work on their desktop of choice, and smoothly deliver code to cloud
servers running the stripped-down Ubuntu Server Edition. In
recent years, special emphasis has been placed on netbooks for
lightweight, connected, mobile computing, and on the cloud as a new
architecture for data centres. Ubuntu is a pioneer in both fields, with
Ubuntu Netbook Edition and Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud setting the standard
for easy deployment and management. Ubuntu is hugely popular on Amazon's
EC2 and Rackspace's Cloud, and is pre-installed on computers from Dell,
Lenovo and other global vendors. Ubuntu still is and always will
be free to use, share and develop. We hope it will bring a touch of
light to your computing – and we hope that you'll join us in helping to
build the next version too. How to Install Ubuntu on Android!
