| Tóm tắt: | Linux applies an alternate philosophy to computing that revolves around the sharing of not only
software but also knowledge. To use Linux is to become part of a huge global community of people who
have caught on to a phenomenon that is changing the world.
Ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu.com) is the natural continuation of these goals. It’s a project founded
by entrepreneur businessman Mark Shuttleworth with the intention of bringing a freely available,
high-quality operating system to the world. To this end, Shuttleworth invested $10 million of his own
money to guarantee that this will be the case for many years to come. In 2010, the project has moved
closer to becoming self-sustaining as Ubuntu becomes part of the mainstream for desktop, Netbook,
and server users.
The fundamental concept is that Ubuntu is available for use by anyone in the world, no matter who
or where they are. As such, many different languages are supported, and the operating system can also
be accessed by those with disabilities, such as partial sight or hearing. Ubuntu might just as easily be
found on a Wall Street banker’s laptop as on a battered old computer in a Brazilian favela.
Ubuntu is built around one of the most established versions of Linux: Debian
(http://www.debian.org). The Debian Project was started back in 1993, shortly after the very first version
of the Linux software was released, and has become one of the pioneering varieties of Linux. Ubuntu and
Debian Linux both share common goals and are closely allied, but Ubuntu focuses largely on the
desktop. For example, it provides a powerful office suite by default, as well as some excellent pieces of
Internet software. Only recently has a dedicated server version become available. |
