Ubuntu (IPA: [uːˈbuːntuː] in English,[3][ùbúntú] in Zulu) is an operating system for desktops, laptops, and servers. It has consistently been
rated among the most popular of the many Linux distributions.[4][5][6][7] Ubuntu's goals include providing an up-to-date yet stable Linux
distribution for the average user and having a strong focus on usability and ease of installation. It is a derivative of Debian, another popular
distribution. Ubuntu is sponsored by Canonical Ltd, owned by South African entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth. The name of the distribution
comes from the African concept of ubuntu which may be rendered roughly as "humanity toward others", "we are people because of other
people", or "I am who I am because of who we all are", though other meanings have been suggested.[8] This Linux distribution is named as
such to bring the spirit of the philosophy to the software world. Ubuntu is free software and can be shared by any number of users.
Kubuntu and Xubuntu are official subprojects of the Ubuntu project, aiming to bring the KDE and Xfce desktop environments, respectively,
to the Ubuntu core (by default Ubuntu uses GNOME for its desktop environment). Edubuntu is an official subproject designed for school
environments, and should be equally suitable for children to use at home.[9] Gobuntu is an official subproject that is aimed at adhering
strictly to the Free Software Foundation's Four Freedoms.[10] The newest official subproject is JeOS. Ubuntu JeOS (pronounced "Juice") is
a concept for what an operating system should look like in the context of a virtual appliance.[11]
Ubuntu releases new versions every six months, and supports those releases for 18 months with daily security fixes and patches to critical
bugs. LTS (Long Term Support) releases, which occur every two years,[12] are supported for 3 years for desktops and 5 years for servers.
[13] The most recent version, Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron), was released on 24 April 2008. The next version will be 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex),
scheduled for release in October 2008
The latest version of Ubuntu Linux is hot off the press and ready for download. Ubuntu 8.04 brings number of important improvements to
the popular Linux distribution. While none of the new features are necessarily glamorous on their own, together they make for a
significantly more polished Linux desktop.
Ubuntu 8.04, nick-named "Hardy Heron," is the second Long Term Support (LTS) release from Canonical, Ubuntu’s parent company. LTS
releases come with official support for three years on the desktop and five on the server, making Ubuntu 8.04 an important release for
business customers. It also means that 8.04 focuses on evolutionary improvements that build on the strength of existing features rather
than introducing revolutionary new toys.
Which isn’t to say that this release is lacking in the new feature department; there’s plenty to love in Ubuntu 8.04. In fact, if you’ve been
considering making the switch to Linux, Hardy Heron is one of the easiest and best ways to jump on the Linux bandwagon.
The main distribution of Ubuntu, which uses the Gnome desktop, has been upgraded to use Gnome 2.22. Although the latest version of
Gnome looks much like its predecessors, it adds some great new stuff under the hood.
