About Ubuntu

From the start we had a clear vision - to develop the very best system and software then make it available to all.

Ubuntu gives you a new operating system every six months, great compatibility with other providers, security you can count on and the freedom to share it with anyone you like. But best of all, Ubuntu is and always will be absolutely free.

OSE gives you open source blueprints for critical infrastructure technologies, building on industry standards, with your freedom to use and adapt the designs as you see fit. Best of all, OSE plans are and always will be absolutely free.
