More than 20 million people today prefer Ubuntu to commercial alternatives.
Ubuntu is a community-developed, free, open-source, [[Linux]]-based operating system. The name, which comes from an [[African]] [[philosophy]], means '[[Humanity]] to others', or 'I am what I am because of who we all are'. It is supported by the company, Canonical, is released for free, every 6 months, with a long-term support (LTS) version being released every 2 years. The distribution is largely based on [[Debian]], but is increasingly deviating from it every new release.
