Ubuntu Linux is a full operating system for your Computer. It contains more than 16,000 pieces of Free software (incidentally including all the above). Next time you think about getting a new PC, consider how much of the price you are paying to Microsoft for the privilege of running windows.
The team behind Ubuntu makes the following public commitment to its users:
- Ubuntu will always be free of charge, and there is no extra fee for the "enterprise edition", we make our very best work available to everyone on the same Free terms.
- Ubuntu comes with full commercial support from hundreds of companies around the world. Ubuntu is released regularly and predictably; a new release is made every six months. Each release is supported with free security updates and fixes for at least 18 months.
- Ubuntu will include the very best in translations and accessibility infrastructure that the Free Software community has to offer, to make Ubuntu usable by as many people as possible. We collaborate as widely as possible on bug fixing and code sharing.
- Ubuntu is entirely committed to the principles of free software development; we encourage people to use free and open source software, improve it and pass it on.
