Ubuntu is a community developed, linux-based operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. It contains all the applications you need - a web browser, presentation, document and spreadsheet software, instant messaging and much more. Ubuntu is free software. Whether you use it at home, at school or at work Ubuntu contains all the applications you'll ever need, from word processing and email applications, to web server software and programming tools.


Ubuntu is and always will be free of charge. You do not pay any licensing fees. You can download, use and share Ubuntu with your friends, family, school or business for absolutely nothing. We issue a new desktop and server release every six months. That means you'll always have the the latest and greatest applications that the open source world has to offer. Everything you need on one CD, which provides a complete working environment. Additional software is available online.

Ubuntu comes with full commercial support from Canonical and hundreds of companies around the world. Ubuntu includes the very best translations and accessibility infrastructure that the free software community has to offer. Ubuntu CDs contain only free software applications; we encourage you to use free and open source software, improve it and pass it on.

With Ubuntu Desktop Edition you can surf the web, read email, create documents and spreadsheets, edit images and much more. Ubuntu has a fast and easy graphical installer right on the Desktop CD. On a typical computer the installation should take you less than 25 minutes. The graphical installer enables you to get up and running quickly and easily. On the desktop you have a full set of productivity, internet, drawing and graphics applications, and games.

The Server Edition - built on the solid foundation of Debian which is known for its robust server installations — has a strong heritage for reliable performance and predictable evolution. As your business grows, so does your network. More applications need to be deployed and more servers are required. Ubuntu Server Edition offers support for several common configurations, and simplifies common Linux server deployment processes. It provides a well-integrated platform enabling you to quickly and easily deploy a new server with any of the standard internet services: mail, web, DNS, file serving or database management. A key lesson from its Debian heritage is that of security by default. The Ubuntu Server has no open ports after the installation and contains only the essential software needed to build a secure server.

Highlighted Features of Ubuntu 7.10 Server Edition

The latest version includes the following new features:

New Functionality

Enhanced security – AppArmor provides significantly enhanced security which protects the server from intrusion. Common server applications such as Apache and Postfix are protected with default policies. Administrators can easily lock down programs and resources and add policies for their specific requirements.

Virtualized kernel - A tailored kernel optimized for use in virtualized environments. This smaller and simpler kernel is particularly suited for virtual appliances. This new kernel includes many improvements for paravirtualization, one of which is VMI (Virtual Machine Interface), a new independent way for hypervisors to relate to the kernel.

Tickless kernel - A new "tickless" idle mode resulting in reduced power consumption/heat emission - This feature results in significant energy and cost savings on machines running several virtualised instances.

Messaging - Deployments of large mail servers benefit from significant improvements to Postfix's performance. The new stable release of Postfix takes advantage of the kernel's epoll functionality to reduce load and improve performance.

Printing - Improved interoperability with CUPS now supporting automatic discovery and authentication for many more protocols, including LDAP with SSL, Kerberos, MacOSX Bonjour and Zeroconf.

Programming - A new release of Python allows for a faster and more reliable interpreter. Additionally OpenMP is now supported in gcc 4.2, which gives shared-memory programmers a simple and flexible interface for developing parallel application.

Improved Compatibility

LDAP authentication - Ubuntu Server is now fully supported as an LDAP authentication client. Additionally, a new profile based configuration utility (auth-client-config) makes setup of multiple servers easier than ever.

File sharing - Enhanced Samba compatibility with Microsoft Windows clients, including Vista, that allows for better performances and off line login.

Enhanced Manageability

Quick start profiles Three new quick start profiles have been added supporting Mail, Print and Database server set up. These profiles are in addition to the existing LAMP and DNS ones and significantly ease deployment, management and maintenance for common "edge of the network" functions.

Landscape Management - Commercially supported users of Ubuntu Server can take full advantage of this web-based management tool for managing large deployments.
