Ubuntu Linux是一份完整的桌面Linux操作系统，它可免费获得，并带有社团及专业的支持。Ubuntu社团按照Ubuntu宣言里所铭记的思想而组建：软件应免费提供，软件工具应能以人们本地语种的形式可用且不牺牲任何功能，人们应拥有定制及改变他们软件的自由，这包括以任何他们认为适宜的方式。 Ubuntu是一个古非洲语单词，意指对他人的博爱。Ubuntu Linux发行将这种博爱之心带到了软件的世界中。
这次发行的Ubuntu 7.04 Alpha 1是Ubuntu下一个正式发行版的第一次测试版本，特别是该版本中附带了很多Linux及开源软件的先进技术。值得期待。
The first development build of Ubuntu 7.04 "Feisty Fawn", also known as "Herd CD", has been released for testing: "Welcome to Feisty Fawn Herd 1, which will in time become Ubuntu 7.04. Herd 1 is the first in a series of milestone CD images that will be released throughout the Feisty development cycle. The Herd images are known to be reasonably free of showstopper CD build or installer bugs, while representing very current snapshots of Feisty. The primary changes from Edgy have been the re-merging of changes from Debian. Common to all variants, we have upgraded the kernel to 2.6.19." Read the release announcement and release notes for more details. Download (MD5): feisty-desktop-i386.iso (679MB), feisty-desktop-amd64.iso (686MB). On a related note, Herd 1 CD images for Kubuntu are also available.
