The Biggest Cat wanted to start using Open Source Linux OS. He felt that Ubuntu was the best. Not only for the numerous features and friendliness it displayed, but for the meaning of the very word “Ubuntu”. For the unaware, Ubuntu is an Operating System. And it is an Open Source Software. An Operating System is System software, it bridges the hardware and other software that run on the computer. It is one of the most famous, popular linux distributions available right now.
The software is based on the philosophy of Ubuntu. Ubuntu is an African word, a philosophy. A word with many meanings it is - Respect, humanity, kindness to others, unselfishness are a few. It can have many meanings. In a golden nutshell, quoted by Archbishop Desmond Tutu,
A person with Ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed.
