This section is an introduction to Xubuntu. It explains the Xubuntu philosophy and roots, gives information about how to contribute to Xubuntu, and shows how to get help with Xubuntu.

5.

Xubuntu will always be free of charge, and there is no extra fee for the "enterprise edition", we make our very best work available to everyone on the same Free terms.

6.

Xubuntu includes the very best in translations and accessibility infrastructure that the free software community has to offer, to make Xubuntu usable for as many people as possible.

7.

Xubuntu is released regularly and predictably; a new release is made every six months. You can use the current stable release or the current development release. Each release is supported for at least 18 months.

Xubuntu is an entirely open source operating system built around the <emphasis>Linux</emphasis> kernel. The Xubuntu community is built around the ideals enshrined in the <ulink url="http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/philosophy">Ubuntu Philosophy</ulink>: 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 customize and alter their software in whatever way they see fit. For those reasons: <placeholder-1/>

The "X" in Xubuntu stands for the Xfce graphical desktop environment, but the word, "ubuntu," represents both the technical and philosophical core of the operating system. Ubuntu is a South African ethical ideology focusing on people's allegiances and relations with each other. The word comes from the Zulu and Xhosa languages. Ubuntu (pronounced "oo-boon-too") is seen as a traditional African concept, is regarded as one of the founding principles of the new republic of South Africa and is connected to the idea of an African Renaissance.

A rough translation of the principle of ubuntu is "humanity towards others". Another translation could be: "the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity".

"Free software" doesn't mean that you should not have to pay for it (although Xubuntu is committed to being free of charge as well); it means that you should be able to use the software in any way you wish: the code that makes up free software is available for anyone to download, change, fix, and use in any way. Alongside ideological benefits, this freedom also has technical advantages: when programs are developed, the hard work of others can be used and built upon. With non-free software, this cannot happen and when programs are developed, they have to start from scratch. For this reason the development of free software is fast, efficient and exciting!

Xubuntu is part of the Ubuntu family of Linux distributions, and is based on Debian, one of the most widely acclaimed, technologically advanced, and well-supported distributions. Xubuntu's primary focus is to provide an up-to-date and coherent Linux system for desktop computing, with a particular focus on maintaining a low memory footprint. By focusing on a quality desktop environment with a low memory footprint, Xubuntu produces an computing environment that is ideal for users with slightly older computers, or users who desire a more responsive desktop.

24.

To create a lightweight and user-friendly desktop, Xubuntu developers carefully select software packages from the Ubuntu and Debian distributions, and from the Xfce and GNOME environments. Xubuntu also retains Debian's powerful package management system, allowing for easy installation and clean removal of programs. Unlike most distributions that ship with a large amount of software that may or may not be of use, Xubuntu's default list of packages is reduced to a number of important applications that are well-suited to Xubuntu's purpose.
