Setup Personal Ubuntu Machine

Ubuntu is a variation of the GNU-Linux operating system, similar to other distributions such as RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, and Debian. It is simply a combination of the Linux Kernel and GNU System Programs and Utilities. This open source and free (as in freedom of speech, not financially) OS is funded and supported by South African millionaire Mark Shuttleworth, who founded Canonical Inc. The term "ubuntu" originates from a southern African language and translates to "humanity towards others". It uses the GNOME desktop environment and comes complete with the OpenOffice suite, Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird, Pidgin, and a selection of other tools and games. It is managed with the Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) from Debian. The first version of Ubuntu was released in October 2004 and since then, there have been two updates each year in April (YY-04) and October (YY-10) with some versions labelled Long Term Support (LTS).
