Ubuntu is a GNU/Linux distribution based on Debian. The philosophy behind Ubuntu is that every computer user should be able to download and use their software free of charge, that anyone should be able to use their software in the language of their choice, and that anyone should be able to use all software regardless of disability. The result is an operating system that has excellent hardware support, is easy to use and pleasant on the eyes.
