Fedora-Projekt Startseite Debian (Ubuntu is based on Debian) Official Ubuntu Documentation Wine (software) Wine is a free and open source software application that aims to allow applications designed for Microsoft Windows to run on Unix-like operating systems. Wine also provides a software library, known as Winelib, against which developers can compile Windows applications to help port them to Unix-like systems.[3] The name Wine initially was an acronym for windows emulator.[7] Its meaning later shifted to the recursive backronym, wine is not an emulator in order to differentiate the software from CPU emulators.[8] While the name sometimes appears in the forms WINE and wine, the project developers have agreed to standardize on the form Wine.[9] The phrase "wine is not an emulator" is a reference to the fact that no processor code execution emulation occurs when running a Windows application under Wine. Wine officially entered beta with version 0.9 on 25 October 2005.[18] Version 1.0 was released on 17 June 2008,[19] after 15 years of development. Software that runs flawlessly ("Platinum")

Ubuntu-News Ubuntu (operating system) Development of Ubuntu is led by Canonical Ltd.,[11] a company based on the Isle of Man and owned by South African entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth. Canonical generates revenue through the sale of technical support and other services related to Ubuntu.[12][13] The Ubuntu project is publicly committed to the principles of open source development; people are encouraged to use free software, study how it works, improve upon it, and distribute it.[14][15] GNOME (the former default desktop) supports more than 46 languages.[17] For increased security, the sudo tool is used to assign temporary privileges for performing administrative tasks, allowing the root account to remain locked, and preventing inexperienced users from inadvertently making catastrophic system changes or opening security holes.[18] PolicyKit is also being widely implemented into the desktop to further harden the system through the principle of least privilege. Ubuntu is currently funded by Canonical Ltd.
