Most of the software available for Xubuntu is free, open-source software. This software is free for anyone to install and use, and people can modify the software and redistribute it if they like. Xubuntu is built from this type of software.

<emphasis role="strong">Non-free software</emphasis> is software which is not freely redistributable or modifiable. This makes it difficult for the Xubuntu developers to improve the software and correct problems, so it is normally recommended that you use <ulink url="http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/philosophy"> free software</ulink> instead.

In some cases, restricted software is the only option. Such cases include software for the playback of certain audio and video formats, some fonts and <link linkend="restricted-manager"><application>drivers for some graphics cards</application></link>.

You should be warned by the package manager when you try to install restricted software. If the restricted software cannot be used legally in your country then there is little you can do; you should not install the software. If the software is restricted simply because it is non-free, you may choose to use it (for example, in the case of graphics card drivers). Be aware that most restricted software is not supported in Xubuntu, and problems with such software often cannot be corrected by Xubuntu developers.

When you click <guibutton>Apply Changes</guibutton>, any new software will be downloaded from the Internet, and Xubuntu will make any other changes you selected. If you have not activated the online package archive, you may be asked to insert your Xubuntu CD-ROM to install some packages.

Other than using tools that download packages automatically, it is also possible to use a CD to install packages through a package manager while not connected to the Internet. The Xubuntu installation CD can be used for this purpose, and other CDs with different packages are available as well. Additionally, the program <application>APTonCD</application> can automatically backup installed packages on your system, and create CDs with the contents of various repositories on them.
