	Encyclopedia: Linux distribution
		Before the first Linux distributions, a would-be Linux user was required to be something of a Unix expert, not only knowing what libraries and executables were needed to successfully get the system to boot and run, but also important details concerning configuration and placement of files in the system.
		For example, a distribution that comes with a strong philosophy which is generalised beyond software is Ubuntu.
		Linux distributions may also be referred to as GNU/Linux distributions, though the latter may more often refer to the Debian system.

	Ubuntu Linux: Power for the People
		Ubuntu is a Linux distribution aimed at real human beings, and as such it's appropriate for just about any computer user.
		The Zulu word ubuntu roughly translates to "community" or "humanity to others," but a more accurate meaning is, "I am because we are; we are because I am." Not coincidentally, the Linux distribution Ubuntu seeks to bring this philosophy of selflessness to software development.
		Ubuntu's software repositories give you access to a HUGE library of programs (about 10,000 or so, I think) to solve almost any sort of task, so you should be able to find what you need without ever using another system (though you can).

	Ubuntu Linux launched in Sydney: ZDNet Australia: News: Software
		Ubuntu includes more than 1,000 pieces of software, starting with the Linux kernel version 2.6 and Gnome 2.8, and covering every standard desktop application from word processing and spreadsheet applications to Internet access applications, Web server software, e-mail software and games.
		The new distribution secured its name, "Ubuntu Linux," from a Zulu word that essentially means "a person is a person through other persons," release manager for the project sponsor, Isle of Man-headquartered company Canonical, Jeff Waugh, told ZDNet Australia.
		Waugh said the Ubuntu Linux project came from a realisation that there was "no fantastic professional services company" built around Debian and Canonical could help provide the support required to push the GNU/Linux operating system further into the corporate arena.
