http://www.bbcworld.com/Pages/ProgrammeMultiFeature.aspx?id=18 Main: http://www.bbcworld.com/Pages/ProgrammeFeature.aspx?id=18&FeatureID=201 Ubuntu Microsoft are well-known for providing heavily subsidised versions of their software for use in the developing world, but for a society where any money is best spent on basics, software thats completely free is a bonus. Ubuntu is a version of the free open source operating system Linux. Developed by Mark Shuttleworth, it comes with a range of software, like office programs, email, a web browser and a media player. In fact Intel is working with the Ubuntu community to develop a version of the OS for mobile devices. Shuttleworth told us why he'd decided to adopt Ubuntu: "I fund Ubuntu because you can create businesses using Linux in South Afica, which I didnt think it was possible to create with proprietary alternatives. [The] infrastructure [here is] not network-centric enough, not reliable enough. "Im a geek. What if I could bring software to a much wider audience? To everyone. To do this we needed to make Linux easy to use, a pleasure to use." Linux has a reputation, though of not being that easy to use. Shuttleworth disagrees. "In many cases its because youve got people trying to do complicated things. "Lets not beat up on Linux. It is in fact very easy to use, especially if youve never used anything else. Weve seen great results in Brazil, for example, where huge deployments of Linux have been done in schools and in community centres. Its peoples first experience in technology and they love it. They very quickly figure out how to do the things that theyre interested in doing." In order to make Ubuntu more user friendly they have introduced "more everyday processes, extending battery life for laptops, being smarter about wireless networking. Give people a very smooth user-type experience. We aim to be between Mac and Window$ the best of both worlds, freely available globally."
