Today a new version of the operating system Gnu/Linux Ubuntu was released. It’s free to download and it’s based on open source. It can be seen as a sustainable alternative to proprietary systems like Microsofts operating system Windows that stands for the old more and more unsustainable economy. It’s also a form of development that encourages cooperation over all borders as many open source projects are developed over the world by volunteers that work together towards the same goal regardless of personal background. The model for developing open source promotes good programs that are made to fulfil peoples needs rather than take peoples money that is the case with a lot of the proprietary software.
Why not try one of the future operating systems already today? If you have a CD-burner you can fetch an image here, burn it to an empty CD, boot the computer with it. Then you can explore it and see how it works without changing anything on your computer. If you want you can then install it on your computer. If you don’t have the possibility to create an Ubuntu CD of your own you’re welcome in LotusEco in Karlskrona where you can have or borrow a CD with the latest version of Ubuntu.
The name Ubuntu comes from from the Zulu word that means “humanity to others”, describing the ubuntu philosophy: “I am what I am because of who we all are”, a positive aspect of community. Ubuntu’s goals include providing an up-to-date, stable operating system for the average user, with a strong focus on usability and ease of installation. Ubuntu has been rated as the most popular Linux distribution for the desktop.
