Whether it is OEM pre? Ubuntu is also an enterprise application of Ubuntu. It is absolutely free and its source code is fully open, unless you name the commercial payment service that "requires" related technical support (just like the payment for Bath and haircut ). The Ubuntu April 24 version, officially released on April 9, 8.04, is a version with long-term commercial technical support (the individual version lasts for three years and the server version lasts for five years ), although it is the "Community release version" developed by the Community, it is actually a "commercial release version" that has passed the strict test cycle (but the price of its software "ontology" is zero ). The Ubuntu 8.04 server version will be sold in large quantities together with well-known server hardware vendors (such as Dell, IBM, and HP) and is currently being "tested ". By then, the Landscape Software Package (Free Software) based on the Ubuntu Enterprise Network will be released.
