Ubuntu is a community developed, Linux-based operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. Whether you use it at home, at school or at work Ubuntu contains all the applications you need - a web browser, presentation, document and spreadsheet software, instant messaging and much more.

Ubuntu is and always will be free of charge. You do not pay any licensing fees. You can download, use and share Ubuntu with your friends, family, school or business for absolutely nothing.

Ubuntu is designed with security in mind. You get free security updates for at least 18 months on the desktop and server. With the Long Term Support (LTS) version you get three years support on the desktop, and five years on the server and there is no extra fee for the LTS version.

I recently helped a friend switch to Ubuntu and he wanted a list of Ubuntu-related links. I compiled the following list for him and thought it might be useful to others.

I'd be happy to make a similar post for other distros if someone would kindly email me a similar list of links.
