A Quick guide for a Ubuntu beginner
What is Ubuntu
Ubuntu is a Linux system developed by a community who believe in the word “FREE” in its all sense. I am not sure if it is very right if I say Ubuntu derived from Debian. As per Ubuntu team ,
this Linux flavor will be available for FREE for any purpose (Commercial or Personal) and all the software packaged with this will be absolutely free. It is great to hear that Ubuntu is competing with Windows on its GUI side which was always a drawback for any Linux flavors. This might be the one of the major reason for Ubuntu to become so popular in very short period.What is the meaning of Ubuntu
Ubuntu is a word that speaks to our interconnectedness and the responsibility to each other that flows from our connection – So it is all about sharing and our responsibility to share for FREE Another meaning of Ubuntu ‘I am what I am because of who we all are’What is Ubuntu Promise (according to me)
