Enjoy using Ubuntu software while listening to UbuntuFM Radio!
Ubuntu is a Debian-based Linux operating system and distribution for personal computers, smartphones and network servers. It uses Unity as its default user interface. It is based on free open source software and named after the Southern African philosophy of ubuntu (literally, 'human-ness'), which Canonical Ltd suggests can be loosely translated as "humanity to others" or "I am what I am because of who we all are". Development of Ubuntu is led by UK-based Canonical Ltd, a company of South African entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth.
'open source' means that the software can be used free of charge. Sales of the software is prohibited.
Canonical like other open source projects generates revenue through the sale of technical support and other services related to Ubuntu. The Ubuntu project is publicly committed to the principles of open-source software development; people are encouraged to use free software, study how it works, improve upon it, and distribute it.
UbuntuFM Radio is in no way affiliated to Canonical. We support the software as it is founded on the same universal message of Ubuntu.
