Edubuntu is an operating system designed with education in mind. It is based on
<ulink url="http://www.ubuntu.com"><phrase>Ubuntu</phrase></ulink>, a complete operating system
that uses the Linux kernel and is freely available to the public. As an
education-driven operating system, Edubuntu provides a complete solution for:

<para>
Since Edubuntu is based on Ubuntu, the team behind Edubuntu are part of the
growing Ubuntu community. The Ubuntu community is built around the ideals
enshrined in the Ubuntu Philosophy: 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, the team behind Edubuntu makes the following public commitment to its
community of users worldwide:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
Edubuntu 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.
</para>
</listitem>

<listitem>
<para>
Edubuntu includes the very best in translations and accessibility infrastructure
that the free software community has to offer, to make Ubuntu usable for as many
people as possible.
</para>
</listitem>

<listitem>
<para>
Edubuntu 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.

<!-- ABOUT THE EDUBUNTU NAME -->
<sect1 id="about-name" status="complete">
<title>About sa Pangalan</title>

<para>
Edubuntu combines education and Ubuntu to form the name (pronounced
"ed-oo-BOON-too"). 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.
</para>

<para>
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".
</para>

<blockquote>
<attribution>Archbishop Desmond Tutu</attribution>
<para>
"A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others,
does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a
proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a
greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when
others are tortured or oppressed."
</para>
</blockquote>

<para>
As a platform based on Ubuntu Linux, the Edubuntu operating system brings the
spirit of ubuntu to the educational world.
</para>
</sect1>

<!-- FREE SOFTWARE -->
<sect1 id="free-software" status="complete">
<title>Free Software</title>

<para>
The Edubuntu project is entirely committed to the principles of free software
development; people are encouraged to use free software, improve it, and pass it
on.
</para>

<para>
"Free software" doesn't mean that you shouldn't have to pay for it
(although Edubuntu 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!
</para>

<para>
You can find out more about free software and the ideological and technical
philosophy behind it at the <ulink url="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/">GNU
website</ulink>.

<!-- THE DIFFERENCE -->
<sect1 id="difference" status="complete">
<title>Ang Kalahi-an</title>

<para>
There are many different operating systems based on Linux: Debian, SuSE, Gentoo,
RedHat, and Mandriva are examples. Edubuntu is yet another contender in what is
already a highly competitive world. So what makes Edubuntu different?
</para>

<para>
Edubuntu aims to create a distribution that provides an up-to-date and coherent
Linux system for educational desktop and server computing. Edubuntu includes a
number of carefully selected packages from the Debian distribution, which
Ubuntu is based on, and retains its powerful package management system which
allows 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, Edubuntu's list of packages is reduced to a number of important
applications of high quality and educational importance.
</para>

<para>
By focusing on quality, Edubuntu produces a robust and feature-rich computing
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
release a version featuring the latest and greatest of today's software once
every 6 months. Edubuntu is available in downloads for the i386
(386/486/PentiumII/III/IV and Athlon/Duron/Sempron processors) and AMD64
(Athlon64, Opteron, and new 64-bit Intel processors).
</para>
</sect1>

<!-- DESKTOP - GNOME -->
<sect1 id="desktop" status="complete">
<title>The Desktop</title>

<para>
    The desktop is what you see after you log in to your computer and what you
    use to manage and run applications. The default desktop environment for
    Edubuntu is <ulink url="http://www.gnome.org/">GNOME</ulink>, a leading
    UNIX and Linux desktop suite and development platform.
</para>

<para>
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
an alternative choice to the default GNOME desktop environment. Thanks to the
efforts of the Kubuntu team, Edubuntu users are now able to install and use the
KDE desktop easily on their system. To get a working install of Kubuntu on an
Edubuntu install, install the <application>edubuntu-desktop-kde</application>
package. Once <application>edubuntu-desktop-kde</application> is installed, one
can choose to use either a Gnome or KDE desktop environment.
</para>
</sect1>

<!-- VERSION AND RELEASE NUMBER INFO -->
<sect1 id="version-release-numbers" status="complete">
<title>Version and Release Numbers</title>

<para>
The Edubuntu version numbering scheme is based on the date we release a version
of the distribution. The version number comes from the year and month of the
release rather than reflecting the actual version of the software. Our first
release (Breezy Badger) was in October 2005 so its version was 5.10. This
version (Hardy Heron) was released in April 2008 so its version number is
8.04.
</para>
</sect1>

<!-- SUPPORT -->
<sect1 id="support" status="complete">
<title>Backing and Support</title>

<para>
Edubuntu is maintained by a quickly growing community. The project is sponsored
by <ulink url="http://www.canonical.com">Canonical Ltd.</ulink>, a holding
company founded by Mark Shuttleworth. Canonical employs the core Edubuntu
developers and offers support and consulting services for Edubuntu.
</para>

</sect1>

<!-- WHAT IS LINUX? -->
<sect1 id="linux" status="complete">
<title>Unsa na ang Linux?</title>

<para>
The <ulink url="http://www.kernel.org">Linux kernel</ulink>, pronounced
'linnuks' is the heart of the Ubuntu operating system. A kernel is an important
part of any operating system, providing the communication bridge between
hardware and software.
</para>

<para>
Linux was brought to life in 1991 by a Finnish student named Linus Torvalds. At
the time, it would run only on i386 systems, and was essentially an
independently created clone of the UNIX kernel, intended to take advantage of
the then-new i386 architecture.
</para>

<para>
Nowadays, thanks to a substantial amount of development effort by people all
around the world, Linux runs on virtually every modern architecture.
</para>

<para>
The Linux kernel has gained an ideological importance as well as a technical
one. There is an entire community of people who believe in the ideals of free
software and spend their time helping to make open source technology as good as
it can be.
</para>

<para>
People in this community gave rise to initiatives such as Ubuntu, standards
committees that shape the development of the Internet, organizations like the
Mozilla Foundation, responsible for creating Mozilla Firefox, and countless
other software projects from which you've certainly benefited in the past.
</para>

<para>
The spirit of open source, commonly attributed to Linux, is influencing software
developers and users everywhere to drive communities with common goals. 
</para>
</sect1>

<!-- GNU -->
<sect1 id="gnu" status="complete">
<title>Unsa na ang GNU?</title>

<para>
The <emphasis><acronym>GNU</acronym> Project</emphasis>, pronounced “guh-noo”,
was launched in 1984 to develop a complete UNIX style operating system which is
comprised of free software: the <acronym>GNU</acronym> system. Variants of the
<acronym>GNU</acronym> operating system, which use the Linux kernel, are now
widely used.
</para>

<para>
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.
The concept of free software is explained at <xref linkend="free-software"/>.
