Ubuntu is a Debian-based Linux operating
system for personal
computers, tablets and smartphones, where Ubuntu
Touch edition is used; and also runs network servers, usually with
the Ubuntu Serveredition, either
on physical or virtual servers (such as on mainframes)
or with containers, that is with enterprise-class features; runs on the
most popular architectures, including server-class ARM-based.
Ubuntu is published by Canonical
Ltd, who offer commercial support. It is based on free
software and named after the Southern African philosophy of ubuntu (literally, 'human-ness'), which
Canonical Ltd. suggests can be loosely translated as "humanity to
others" or "I am what I am because of who we all are". It
uses Unity as its default user interface for the desktop.
Ubuntu is the most popular operating
system running in hosted environments, so–called "clouds", as it
is the most popular server Linux distribution.
Development of Ubuntu is led by UK-based
Canonical Ltd., a company of South African entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth.
Canonical generates revenue through the sale of technical support and
other services related to Ubuntu. The Ubuntu project is publicly committed
to the principles of open-source software development; people are encouraged
to use free software, study how it works, improve upon it, and distribute
it.
