Post subject: What is Ubuntu? 
Ubuntu is a free operating system that uses the Linux kernel. The word "ubuntu" is an old African word meaning "humanity." It is pronounced "oo-boon-too."
It is one of the most popular Linux distributions and it is based on Debian Linux. An idea behind Ubuntu is to make it easy to use and install onto a computer. Ubuntu can be used on all types of systems like Macs and PCs. Ubuntu is downloaded as a CD, which is free to download on the Ubuntu website. It can be installed or tested by running the CD.
Started in 2004, Ubuntu has been developed at a fast rate by Canonical Ltd., a company owned by a wealthy South African man by the name of Mark Shuttleworth.
The current version of Ubuntu, 9.04, was released on April 23, 2009, and the upcoming version, Karmic Koala, is planned to be released on October 29, 2009.
