  1. HWIntro1 Installing an Operating System

  2. Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat Ubuntu is an entirely open source operating system built around the Linux Kernel. The Ubuntu community is built around the ideals enshrined in the Ubuntu Philosophy: that software should be available free of charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities, and that people should have the freedom to customise and alter their software in whatever way they see fit. Based on Debian, one of the most widely acclaimed technologically advanced and well-supported distributions; Ubuntu aims to create a distribution that provides an up-to-date and coherent Linux system for desktop and server computing. Ubuntu includes a number of carefully selected packages from the Debian Distribution and retains its powerful package management systems which allow easy installation and clean removal of programs.

  3. Unlike most distributions that may or may not be of use, Ubuntu’s list of packages is reduced to a number of important applications of high quality. By focusing on quality, Ubuntu produces a robust and feature-rich computing environment that is suitable for use in both home and commercial environments. Ubuntu is available in 32-bit and 64-bit flavours and will run on most modern computers. It is also available for the Sun UltraSPARC and Amazon EC2 architectures.
