Ubuntu is an ethic or humanist philosophy focusing on people's allegiances and relations with each other. The word has its origin in the Bantu languages of Southern Africa. Ubuntu is seen as a classical African concept.

I actually stumbled on this while checking up on Kubuntu and KDE.

Quote:
The "Ubuntu" distribution of the Linux computer operating system is inspired by the concept, based on the premise that it "brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world."
But I'm like... what IS the "spirit of Ubuntu"?
