Setup Ubuntu

Ubuntu is a variety of GNU-Linux, much like RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, and Debian. In other words, it is the combination of the Linux Kernel and the GNU System Programs and Utilities.

Ubuntu is open-source and available without cost ("free" as in "free speech", not as in "free beer"). It is financially supported by Mark Shuttleworth, a wealthy South African IT entrepreneur, through Canonical Inc. The word "ubuntu" has its roots in Southern African language, and it means "humanity to others".

Ubuntu utilizes the GNOME desktop manager. It includes OpenOffice Suite, Firefox Web browser, Mozilla Thunderbird, Pidgin IM client, and a set of tools and games. It uses Debian's Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) as its high-level package management system.

The first Ubuntu version was released in October 2004. Ever since, there have been two releases per year, in April ( YY-04) and October (YY-10). For example, 14.04 and 14.10. Certain versions are marked as LTS (Long Term Support), and they receive extended support from Canonical Inc.
