Ubuntu (made in South Africa: backed by Nelson Mandella) is the most popular linux distribution, or flavor today. It is based off a fork of the Debian Project. The Debian Project has a strict policy dictating that all of its software be free of proprietary licenses. The Debian distribution has a wide variety of software available, but it is not that easy for an end user to setup. Ubuntu is a prearranged series of Debian packages that make up an operating system. It can be customized and extended if desired. Ubuntu is produced by Cannonical Corporation. They intend for Ubuntu to be free for humanity. Ubuntu refers towards humanity towards others.
