Linux for Human Beings
Ubuntu is a community developed operating system that is perfect for laptops and desktops. Whether you use it at home, at school or at work Ubuntu contains all the applications you'll ever need, from word processing and email applications, to web server software and programming tools.
Ubuntu is completely open source, which means you modify, redistribute and share Ubuntu with your friends, family, school or business for absolutely nothing.
Updates are and always will be totally free. The designers of Ubuntu initiate a new desktop release every six months, which means you'll always have the latest and greatest applications that the open source world has to offer.
Ubuntu is designed with security in mind. You get free security updates for at least 18 months. Again, upgrades to new versions of Ubuntu are and always will be free of charge.
Everything you need comes on one CD, providing a complete working environment. Additional software is available online.
The graphical installer enables you to get up and running quickly and easily. A standard installation should take less than 25 minutes. Once installed your system is immediately ready-to-use. On the desktop you have a full set of productivity, internet, drawing and graphics applications, and games.
With Ubuntu Desktop Edition you can surf the web, read email, create documents and spreadsheets, edit images and much more. Ubuntu has a fast and easy graphical installer right on the Desktop CD. On a typical computer the installation should take you less than 25 minutes.
When you start your system for the first time you'll see a desktop that is clean and tidy, no desktop icons, and a default theme that is easy on the eye.
We've done all the hard work for you. Once Ubuntu is installed, all the basics are in place so that your system will be immediately usable.
OpenOffice contains a user interface and feature set that is similar to other office suites, and includes all the key desktop applications you need, such as Word Processing software, Spreadsheet, PowerPoint, and more. You can easily open, edit and share files with your friends that have Microsoft Office, Word Perfect, KOffice or StarOffice.
You'll be able to find help using the desktop browser or online. If you have a question about using Ubuntu, you can bet someone else has already asked it. The Ubuntu community has developed a range of documentation that may contain the answer to your question, or give you ideas about where to look. When you purchase your copy of Ubuntu from Dynamite CS, you also will recieve a thorough and easy-to-use manual, which will resolve any problem that you encounter.
You'll also get access to free support from the Ubuntu community in the chat and mailing lists in many languages. Alternatively, you can purchase additional professional support from Dynamite CS: We will resolve your purchased software problem in 48 hours or less, or you don't pay one cent!
Ubuntu aims to be usable by as many people as possible, which is why we include the very best localisation and accessibility infrastructure that the software community has to offer.
