Service/product description
Ubuntu is a computer operating system based on the Debian Linux distribution. It is named after the Southern African ethical ideology Ubuntu (“humanity towards others”) and is distributed as free and open source software. Ubuntu provides an up-to-date, stable operating system for the average user, with a strong focus on usability and ease of installation.
What does 'openness' mean in this case?
Ubuntu is a community developed OS, and is completely free of charge. Users can submit their own applications or plug-ins to further customize their own variant of Ubuntu. Other areas where Ubuntu turns to the community for support are documentation, technical support, artwork and bug-testing.
