332
Thank you for your interest in Edubuntu 9.04 - the
333
<emphasis>Jaunty Jackalope</emphasis> - released in April 2009.
337
Edubuntu is an operating system designed with education in mind. It is based on
338
<ulink url="http://www.ubuntu.com"><phrase>Ubuntu</phrase></ulink>, a complete operating system
339
that uses the Linux kernel and is freely available to the public. As an
340
education-driven operating system, Edubuntu provides a complete solution for:
344
Educators and school personnel who would like to set up Edubuntu in a networked
345
learning environment.
351
Home users who would like to have a standalone computer system that focuses on
352
education for the younger members of the household.
359
Since Edubuntu is based on Ubuntu, the team behind Edubuntu are part of the
360
growing Ubuntu community. The Ubuntu community is built around the ideals
361
enshrined in the Ubuntu Philosophy: that software should be available free of
362
charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their local language
363
and despite any disabilities, and that people should have the freedom to
364
customize and alter their software in whatever way they see fit. For those
365
reasons, the team behind Edubuntu makes the following public commitment to its
366
community of users worldwide:
370
Edubuntu will always be free of charge, and there is no extra fee for the
371
"enterprise edition," we make our very best work available to everyone
372
on the same Free terms.
378
Edubuntu includes the very best in translations and accessibility infrastructure
379
that the free software community has to offer, to make Ubuntu usable for as many
386
Edubuntu is released regularly and predictably; a new release is made every six
387
months. You can use the current stable release or the current development
388
release. Each release is supported for at least 18 months.
394
Edubuntu is entirely committed to the principles of open source software
395
development; we encourage people to use open source software, improve it
396
and pass it on.</para>

<!-- ABOUT THE EDUBUNTU NAME -->
407
<sect1 id="about-name" status="complete">
408
<title>За името</title>
411
Edubuntu combines education and Ubuntu to form the name (pronounced
412
"ed-oo-BOON-too"). Ubuntu is a South African ethical ideology focusing
413
on people's allegiances and relations with each other. The word comes from the
414
Zulu and Xhosa languages. Ubuntu (pronounced "oo-BOON-too") is seen as a
415
traditional African concept, is regarded as one of the founding principles of
416
the new republic of South Africa and is connected to the idea of an African
421
A rough translation of the principle of Ubuntu is "humanity towards others".
422
Another translation could be: "the belief in a universal bond of sharing that
423
connects all humanity".
427
<attribution>Archbishop Desmond Tutu</attribution>
429
"A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others,
430
does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a
431
proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a
432
greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when
433
others are tortured or oppressed."
438
As a platform based on Ubuntu Linux, the Edubuntu operating system brings the
439
spirit of ubuntu to the educational world.
443
<!-- FREE SOFTWARE -->
444
<sect1 id="free-software" status="complete">

<title>Безплатен софтуер</title>
448
The Edubuntu project is entirely committed to the principles of free software
449
development; people are encouraged to use free software, improve it, and pass it
454
"Free software" doesn't mean that you shouldn't have to pay for it
455
(although Edubuntu is committed to being free of charge as well); it means that
456
you should be able to use the software in any way you wish: the code that makes
457
up free software is available for anyone to download, change, fix, and use in
458
any way. Alongside ideological benefits, this freedom also has technical
459
advantages: when programs are developed, the hard work of others can be used and
460
built upon. With non-free software, this cannot happen and when programs are
461
developed, they have to start from scratch. For this reason the development of
462
free software is fast, efficient and exciting!
466
You can find out more about free software and the ideological and technical
467
philosophy behind it at the <ulink url="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/">GNU

<!-- THE DIFFERENCE -->
473
<sect1 id="difference" status="complete">
474
<title>Разликата</title>
477
There are many different operating systems based on Linux: Debian, SuSE, Gentoo,
478
RedHat, and Mandriva are examples. Edubuntu is yet another contender in what is
479
already a highly competitive world. So what makes Edubuntu different?
483
Edubuntu aims to create a distribution that provides an up-to-date and coherent
484
Linux system for educational desktop and server computing. Edubuntu includes a
485
number of carefully selected packages from the Debian distribution, which
486
Ubuntu is based on, and retains its powerful package management system which
487
allows easy installation and clean removal of programs. Unlike most
488
distributions that ship with a large amount of software that may or may not be
489
of use, Edubuntu's list of packages is reduced to a number of important
490
applications of high quality and educational importance.
494
By focusing on quality, Edubuntu produces a robust and feature-rich computing
495
environment that is suitable for use in both home and educational environments.

The project takes the time required to focus on finer details and is able to
497
release a version featuring the latest and greatest of today's software once
498
every 6 months. Edubuntu is available in downloads for the i386
499
(386/486/PentiumII/III/IV and Athlon/Duron/Sempron processors) and AMD64
500
(Athlon64, Opteron, and new 64-bit Intel processors).

The desktop is what you see after you log in to your computer and what you
510
use to manage and run applications. The default desktop environment for
511
Edubuntu is <ulink url="http://www.gnome.org/">GNOME</ulink>, a leading
512
UNIX and Linux desktop suite and development platform.
516
Another leading UNIX and Linux desktop is <ulink url="http://www.kde.org">KDE</ulink>. The <ulink url="http://www.kubuntu.org">Kubuntu</ulink> project offers Edubuntu users
517
an alternative choice to the default GNOME desktop environment. Thanks to the
518
efforts of the Kubuntu team, Edubuntu users are now able to install and use the
519
KDE desktop easily on their system. To get a working install of Kubuntu on an
520
Edubuntu install, install the <application>edubuntu-desktop-kde</application>
521
package. Once <application>edubuntu-desktop-kde</application> is installed, one
522
can choose to use either a Gnome or KDE desktop environment.

The Edubuntu version numbering scheme is based on the date we release a version
532
of the distribution. The version number comes from the year and month of the
533
release rather than reflecting the actual version of the software. Our first
534
release (Breezy Badger) was in October 2005 so its version was 5.10. This
535
version (Jaunty Jackalope) was released in April 2009 so its version number is

<title>Какво е Linux?</title>
562
The <ulink url="http://www.kernel.org">Linux kernel</ulink>, pronounced
563
'linnuks' is the heart of the Ubuntu operating system. A kernel is an important
564
part of any operating system, providing the communication bridge between
565
hardware and software.
569
Linux was brought to life in 1991 by a Finnish student named Linus Torvalds. At
570
the time, it would run only on i386 systems, and was essentially an
571
independently created clone of the UNIX kernel, intended to take advantage of
572
the then-new i386 architecture.
576
Nowadays, thanks to a substantial amount of development effort by people all
577
around the world, Linux runs on virtually every modern architecture.
581
The Linux kernel has gained an ideological importance as well as a technical
582
one. There is an entire community of people who believe in the ideals of free
583
software and spend their time helping to make open source technology as good as
588
People in this community gave rise to initiatives such as Ubuntu, standards
589
committees that shape the development of the Internet, organizations like the
590
Mozilla Foundation, responsible for creating Mozilla Firefox, and countless
591
other software projects from which you've certainly benefited in the past.
595
The spirit of open source, commonly attributed to Linux, is influencing software
596
developers and users everywhere to drive communities with common goals.

<title>Какво е GNU?</title>
605
The <emphasis><acronym>GNU</acronym> Project</emphasis>, pronounced “guh-noo”,
606
was launched in 1984 to develop a complete UNIX style operating system which is
607
comprised of free software: the <acronym>GNU</acronym> system. Variants of the
608
<acronym>GNU</acronym> operating system, which use the Linux kernel, are now

The <acronym>GNU</acronym> project is closely linked to the philosophy of free

software, which is central to the projects that derive from it, such as Ubuntu.
