Ubuntu is built on the foundation of Linux, which is a member of the \Index{Unix} family. \Index{Unix} is one of the oldest types of operating systems and has provided reliability and security in professional applications for almost half a century. Many servers around the world that store data for popular websites (such as YouTube and Google) run some variant of a \Index{Unix} system. The Linux \Index{kernel} is best described as the core, or almost the brain, of the operating system.

Ubuntu bygger på Linux, som är en del av \Index{Unix}-familjen. \Index{Unix} är ett av de äldsta operativsystemen och har gett säkerhet och stabilitet åt professionella applikationer under snart ett halvt sekel. Många av de servrar som lagrar data för populära hemsidor som YouTube och Google använder någon variant av \Index{Unix}. Linux \Index{kärna} kan enklast beskrivas som operativsystemets hjärna.

The Linux \Index{kernel} is the controller of the operating system; it is responsible for allocating memory and processor time. It can also be thought of as the program which manages any and all applications on the computer itself.

Linux-\Index{kärna}n styr operativsystemet, den är ansvarig för tilldelning av minne och processortid. Den kan också betraktas som det program som sköter alla applikationer på själva datorn.

\marginnote{While modern graphical \glspl{desktop environment} have generally replaced early command-line interfaces, the command line can still be a quick and efficient way of performing many tasks. See \chaplink{ch:advanced-topics} for more information, and \chaplink{ch:the-ubuntu-desktop} to learn more about \glslink{GNOME}{GNOME} and other desktop environments.} Linux was designed from the ground up with security and hardware compatibility in mind, and is currently one of the most popular \Index{Unix}-based operating systems. One of the benefits of Linux is that it is incredibly flexible and can be configured to run on almost any device\dash from the smallest micro-computers and cellphones to larger super-computers. \Index{Unix} was entirely command line-based until graphical user interfaces (\glspl{GUI}) began to emerge in the early 1990s.

These early \acronym{GUI}s were difficult to configure, clunky, and generally only used by seasoned computer programmers. In the past decade, however, graphical user interfaces have come a long way in terms of usability, reliability, and appearance. Ubuntu is just one of many different Linux \emph{distributions}, \marginnote{To learn more about Linux distributions, see \chaplink{ch:learning-more}.} and uses one of the more popular graphical desktop environments called \acronym{GNOME}.

Dessa tidiga \acronym{GUI} var svåra att konfigurera, klumpiga och överlag bara använda av erfarna datorprogrammerare. Det senaste årtiondet har dock grafiska användargränssnitt kommit långt gällande användbarhet, tillförlitlighet och utseende. Ubuntu är bara en av många olika Linux-\emph{distributioner} \marginnote{För att lära dig mer om Linux-distributioner, se \chaplink{ch:learning-more}.} och använder en av de mer populära grafiska skrivbordsmiljöerna kallad \acronym{GNOME}.

New users to Ubuntu may find that it takes some time to feel comfortable when trying a new operating system. You will no doubt notice many similarities to both Microsoft Windows and Mac \acronym{OS~X}, and some differences. Users coming from Mac \acronym{OS~X} are more likely to notice similarities due to the fact that both Mac \acronym{OS~X} and Ubuntu originated from \Index{Unix}. The Unity shell, which is the default in Ubuntu, is a completely new concept, which needs some exploring to get used to it. See \chaplink{ch:the-ubuntu-desktop} for more information about the Unity shell.

Nya Ubuntu-användare kan tycka att det tar lite tid att känna sig bekväma när man provar ett nytt operativsystem. Du kommer utan tvekan märka många likheter med både Microsoft Windows och Mac \acronym{OS~X} och en del skillnader. Användare som kommer från Mac \acronym{OS~X} kommer sannolikt märka likheterna tack vare att både Mac \acronym{OS~X} och Ubuntu härstammar från \Index{Unix}. Unity-skalet, som är standard i Ubuntu, är ett helt nytt koncept vilket kräver lite utforskande för att vänja sig vid det. Se \chaplink{ch:the-ubuntu-desktop} för mer information om Unity-skalet.
