Linux : Ubuntu : what is ubuntu?

See you again, often many people question what exactly is it ubuntu? Yes here I'll explain a little about what is ubuntu? Ubuntu is free software and open source

Ubuntu is a community driven project to create the operating system and suite of applications using free software and open source.

At the heart of the Ubuntu Philosophy will Freedom Software is the following ideals:

1. Every computer user should have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, share together, change and improve the software they have for any purpose, without paying licensing fees. 

2. Every computer user should be able to use the software in a language they mastered.
 3. Every computer user should have the same opportunity to use the software, even though they have physical limitations.

Our philosophy is reflected in the software we create and we include in the Ubuntu distribution. To that end, from software license agreements that we distribute must be arranged in accordance with our philosophy, using the Ubuntu License Policy


For Ubuntu, the word "free" as in "free software" is used as a reference to freedom and not free in terms of price - although we are committed to does not impose costs on Ubuntu. The most important thing about Ubuntu is not because Ubuntu is available free of charge, but Ubuntu offers the freedom of the software you are installing and using Ubuntu. In terms of freedom is what makes the Ubuntu community can flourish, so that they can share their experiences and expertise to make Ubuntu better and making Ubuntu suitable for use in various countries and industries.


Quoting the Free Software Foundation's "What's Free Software", the essence of freedom in the software can be defined as follows:
* The freedom to run the program for any purpose. 

* The freedom to study how the program works and adapt it to your needs.
* The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor. 
* The freedom to improve program performance, and can pass it to the public so that all enjoy the benefits.

Open source is a term that rolled out in 1998 to eliminate the ambiguity of the meaning of the word "free" in English. Open Source Initiative explains the definition of open source software in the Open Source Definition. Currently Open source has enjoyed success and growth has been widely recognized.


Ubuntu itself can be termed as an open source operating system. While there are some who argue that free software and open source is the movement of competing and have different end goals, we did not see or think of free software and open source as something different or do not match each other. The Ubuntu community is pleased to invite the various parties, both derived from the community of free software and open source community as well as the other parties to participate and develop Ubuntu.
