Ubuntu is a computer operating system based on the Debian GNU/Linux distribution and is distributed as free and open source software with additional proprietary software available.


== Ubuntu 7.10 ==
Ubuntu is composed of many software packages, of which the vast majority are distributed under a free software license (also known as open source). The main license used is the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL) which, along with the GNU Lesser General Public License (GNU LGPL), explicitly declares that users are free to run, copy, distribute, study, change, develop and improve the software.

Canonical, the company that endorses the Ubuntu project (as well as Kubuntu and other Ubuntu-based derivations) releases new versions of Ubuntu every six months and supports Ubuntu for eighteen months by providing security fixes, patches to critical bugs and minor updates to programs. LTS (Long Term Support) versions, which are released every two years, are supported for three years on the desktop and five years for servers. The latest version of Ubuntu, 10.04 (Lucid Lynx), is such an LTS version, and was released on April 29, 2010.


It is possible to boot Ubuntu by using an Xbox 360 which has had the [[SMC Hack]] applied.

You find the current working Ubuntu-installationscript here: [[Ubuntu7.10]]


Gnome Issue Resolved
[[Category:Xbox360_Linux]]
 
Warning: This script will WIPE your Xbox 360 harddisk (/dev/sda) and install Ubuntu 7.10
 
ubuntuinstall.sh will create two partitions. 1 GB swap on sda0 and the rest of the disk as a root-filesystem on sda1. Run the script as root from the Gentoo LiveCD v2. You will need a DHCP-server on your network for this script.'''''Italic text''
 
 
'''How do I run it?'''
 
Click "Application > Accessories > Terminal" and type the following commands:

Reboot the 360 when you are told. Boot with http://home.comcast.net/~ssmurf/XeLL-Bootloader-sda2-v2.6.24.3.tar.gz and login as root. You will be asked to set new password. //This is where I am having a problem; gives me many errors related to xorg\\ The rest of the installation will start automatically. The download is about 600Mb. After a while it will ask you to setup the screen resolution, select 1280x768 with the space bar.
 
After it has finished installing and has rebooted into gnome open a new shell by typing Ctrl+Alt+F6 or Ctrl+Alt+F1 and type,
 
  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Ubuntu is a computer operating system based on the Debian GNU/Linux distribution and is distributed as free and open source software with additional proprietary software available.

Ubuntu is composed of many software packages, of which the vast majority are distributed under a free software license (also known as open source). The main license used is the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL) which, along with the GNU Lesser General Public License (GNU LGPL), explicitly declares that users are free to run, copy, distribute, study, change, develop and improve the software.

Canonical, the company that endorses the Ubuntu project (as well as Kubuntu and other Ubuntu-based derivations) releases new versions of Ubuntu every six months and supports Ubuntu for eighteen months by providing security fixes, patches to critical bugs and minor updates to programs. LTS (Long Term Support) versions, which are released every two years, are supported for three years on the desktop and five years for servers. The latest version of Ubuntu, 10.04 (Lucid Lynx), is such an LTS version, and was released on April 29, 2010.
