What is Ubuntu Linux?

Ubuntu has its roots in the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. It was initially planned as a
simple fork from the main distribution.
Debian tends to be more conservative in how often it releases new versions. The new
fork was set to be a snapshot released every six months. It was originally released
under the name "no-name-yet.com." This domain now redirects to the main Ubuntu
website.
The six month release schedule held, but the simple snapshot idea did not. Unlike other
Debian-based forks (e.g., Xandros, Linspire, and Libranet), the new version remains
freely available and uses predominantly free software (some of the hardware drivers are
proprietary).
It has, however, grown beyond its Debian roots and become a distribution in its own
right. Whereas one used to be able to mix and match software from the two, now one
must be more careful about compatibility.

No-name-yet.com eventually became Ubuntu, and the first publically released version
(4.10) was released in October of 2004. It quickly became very popular among Linux
users for its ease of use and advanced hardware support. It remains the most popular
version of Linux at Distrowatch.
Development of the distribution is currently funded by Canonical Ltd, a company owned
and run by Mark Shuttleworth. In July of 2005, Canonical created the Ubuntu
Foundation with an initial endowment of $10 million (USD). The purpose of the
Formatted: Font: (Default) Lucida Sans
Unicode, 10.5 pt, Font color: Gray-80%
foundation is to support development and to keep the operating system free of charge
should anything happen to Shuttleworth or the parent company, Canonical.
You can hear Mark Shuttleworth describe what Ubuntu (the operating system) is in the
following interview:

Ubuntu, Comparatively Speaking
When you buy anything (even Ubuntu), it is always good to shop around. Deciding which
software to use can be like buying a car. Sure it looks nice, but how does it drive?

To help you answer this, the Ubuntu
installation disk functions as a live CD. This
means that your computer can boot from it
without affecting your current setup.
To give you some further help on this, this
section contains several comparisons
against other popular offerings.
As Microsoft controls a large portion of the
operating system market, I start with Windows. Ubuntu compares very favourably with
both Windows XP and Windows Vista. Not only does it offer more features that are
useful for the general computer user, it does so for free.
In recent years, a number of users have jumped the Microsoft ship for the world of
Apple's MacIntosh. Somewhat based on a version of Unix, Mac OS X is a distant cousin
to our favourite operating system. While the features of OS X are certainly more
compatible than Windows with the needs of most computer users, Ubuntu compares
more favourably - even for Mac software.
Ubuntu remains the most popular version of Linux at Distrowatch.com. Here you can
find more detailed comparisons with Fedora, OpenSUSE, Mandriva, and Mepis.
Finally, one might ask the question: "Which should I use?" In addition to the regular
version, the following are also available (the links lead to more detailed comparisons):
Edubuntu
Kubuntu

Other Versions of Ubuntu

Unlike other Linuxes, Ubuntu does not differentiate between its home and professional
editions. The version homemakers use for recipe collection or children use for games is
the same version used by programmers in large businesses like Google. The focus of
professional or enterprise editions - security and stability - is equally available to the
non-professional user.
Ubuntu is officially available in four editions:
Ubuntu
Edubuntu
Kubuntu
Xubuntu
Edubuntu
Beyond Ubuntu, there are a few specialist packages. Edubuntu is specifically oriented
toward schools and teaching. It includes educational games for children as young as
three. But it also includes key applications for students in higher levels, including high
school or college. At its core, however, it remains the same as regular Ubuntu.
Kubuntu and Xubuntu
In addition to these, two other editions of Ubuntu are available for different graphic
interfaces and pre-packaged programs. Kubuntu is oriented to those who prefer to use
the KDE graphic interface instead of Ubuntu's default, GNOME. Xubuntu is for those who
prefer the xfce graphic interface.
Functionality
Formatted: Font: (Default) Lucida Sans
Unicode, 10.5 pt, Font color: Gray-80%

Ubuntu comes with high quality, industrial-strength applications on the installation CD.
These include a full office suite, a graphics package that has around 80% of the
functionality of Adobe Photoshop, a full personal information manager that functions
similarly to Outlook, instant messaging, and Skype-like Internet phoning.
Using Ubuntu's built-in installation utility, one can select applications which the
program will then find on the Internet, download, install, and configure at the click of a
button. Ubuntu also supports fast user switching as well as nested user switching,
allowing you to start another login inside of a nested window like starting another
program. ACPI power management is also supported.
Further, if you want to save or copy your bookmarks, background, and other options
from your Windows installation and use them in Ubuntu, you can. With Ubuntu 7.04, the
installer preserves those options and implements them in the new installation. They are
ready for use as soon as you login the first time.
One of the great frustrations endured for some time by Linux users and Windows users
alike was incompatability issues between the software and the operating system.
Ubuntu solves this by checking the dependencies of a program before it is installed. If a
required package is not installed and needs to be, Ubuntu will offer to find it and install
it first, and then continue installing the previously selected program.
Cost
While Ubuntu offers significantly more functionality immediately upon installation than
other operating systems, the starkest point of comparison is price. As I write this, the
entry-level Windows Vista Basic retails for $143.00 (USD). The Media Center Edition of
XP sells for $139.95 (USD). RedHat Enterprise Linux sells for $110.00. Novell's SUSEsells
for around $50 USD. Ubuntu, on the other hand, remains free of charge. You
candownload it or even request a free installation CD, sent to you wherever you live for
free (no charge for the postage, even!).
