\marginnote{For information on Ubuntu Server Edition, and how you can use it in your company, visit \url{http://www.ubuntu.com/business/server/overview}.} While large organizations often find it useful to pay for support services, Shuttleworth has promised that the Ubuntu desktop system will always be free. As of 2012, Ubuntu is installed on an estimated 2\% of the world's computers. This equates to tens of millions of users worldwide, and is growing each year. As there is no compulsory registration, the percentage of Ubuntu users should be treated as an estimate.

\marginnote{Pour toute information sur Ubuntu Édition Serveur, et comment vous pouvez l'utiliser dans votre société, visitez \url{http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/serveur} (en français) ou \url{http://www.ubuntu.com/business/server/overview} (en anglais).} Alors que les grandes organisations trouvent souvent pertinent de payer pour des services d'assistance, Shuttleworth a promis que le système Ubuntu sur PC sera toujours gratuit. En 2012, Ubuntu est installé sur une estimation de 2\% des ordinateurs dans le monde. Cela représente des dizaines de millions d'utilisateurs à travers le monde, et le nombre augmente chaque année. Dans la mesure où il n'existe pas d'enregistrement obligatoire, le pourcentage d'utilisateurs d'Ubuntu doit être considéré comme une estimation.

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 est construit à base de Linux, qui fait partie de la famille des systèmes \Index{Unix}. \Index{Unix} est l'un des plus anciens types de système d'exploitation[nbsp]; il a donné fiabilité et sécurité aux applications professionnelles pendant près d'un demi-siècle. Beaucoup de serveurs dans le monde stockant des données pour le compte de sites web populaires (tels Youtube ou Google) fonctionnent grâce à des variantes du système \Index{Unix}. Le \Index{noyau} Linux se décrit bien comme étant le cœur, ou presque le cerveau, du système d'exploitation.

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.

\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 \gls{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}.

Ces interfaces des débuts étaient difficiles à configurer, poussives et généralement utilisées seulement par des programmeurs chevronnés en informatique. Cependant, dans la dernière décennie, les interfaces utilisateur graphiques se sont grandement améliorées en termes de performances, de fiabilité et d'apparence. Ubuntu n'est que l'une des nombreuses \emph{distributions} Linux différentes, \marginnote{Pour en apprendre plus sur les distributions Linux, voir \chaplink{ch:learning-more}.} et utilise l'un des environnements graphiques de bureau les plus populaires nommé \acronym{GNOME}.
