Ubuntu was conceived in 2004 by Mark Shuttleworth, a successful South African entrepreneur, and his company \Index[Canonical]{\gls{Canonical}}. \marginnote{To learn more about Canonical, go to \url{http://www.canonical.com}.} Shuttleworth recognized the power of Linux and open source, but was also aware of weaknesses that prevented mainstream use.

Shuttleworth set out with clear intentions to address these weaknesses and create a system that was easy to use, completely free (see \chaplink{ch:learning-more} for the complete definition of ``free''), and could compete with other mainstream operating systems. With the \Index{Debian} system as a base, \marginnote{Debian is the Linux operating system that Ubuntu is based upon. For more information visit \url{http://www.debian.org/}.} Shuttleworth began to build Ubuntu. Using his own funds at first, installation \acronym{CD}s were pressed and shipped worldwide at no cost to the recipients. Ubuntu spread quickly, its community grew rapidly, and soon Ubuntu became the most popular Linux \gls{distribution} available.

Shuttleworths erklärte Ziele sind es, diese Schwächen zu beseitigen und ein System zu schaffen, das einfach zu benutzen, komplett frei (siehe \chaplink{ch:learning-more} für die Definition von »frei«) und genauso leistungsfähig wie andere, verbreitete Systeme ist. Mit \Index{Debian} als Basis \marginnote{Debian ist das Linux-System, auf dem Ubuntu basiert. Für weitere Informationen besuchen Sie \url{http://www.debian.org/}.} begann Shuttleworth, Ubuntu zu entwickeln. Zunächst aus eigenen finanziellen Reserven ließ er Installations-\acronym{CD}s pressen und ohne Kosten für den Benutzer weltweit versenden. Ubuntu verbreitete sich schnell und die Größe der Gemeinschaft wuchs rapide an, so dass es bald die beliebteste Linux-\gls{distribution} wurde.

\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 operating system will always be free. 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{Informationen über die Ubuntu-Server-Ausgabe und darüber, wie Sie diese in Ihrem Unternehmen einsetzen können, erhalten Sie unter \url{http://www.ubuntu.com/business/server/overview}.} Während es große Unternehmen meistens hilfreich finden, bezahlte Unterstützung zu erhalten, hat Shuttleworth versprochen, dass Ubuntu immer kostenlos sein wird. Ubuntu ist auf nahezu 2\% der Rechner weltweit installiert. Das entspricht Millionen von Benutzern weltweit, mit jährlich wachsender Tendenz. Da es keine verpflichtende Registrierung gibt, sollte dieser Anteil als Schätzung betrachtet werden.

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 together with Linux has provided reliability and security for 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 Linux or \Index{Unix}. The popular Android system for smartphones is a Linux variant; modern in-car computers usually run on Linux. Even Apple \acronym{OS X} is based on Unix. The Linux \Index{kernel} is best described as the core\dash almost the brain\dash of the Ubuntu operating system.

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.

Der Linux-\Index{Kernel} ist der Verwaltungsmanager des Betriebssystems; er ist verantwortlich für die Speicherverwaltung und die Prozessorzeit. Er kann auch als das Programm verstanden werden, das jedes andere Programm auf dem Rechner selbst verwaltet.

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 \acronym{GNOME} and other desktop environments.
