Ungangishayi, nginguBuntu!

Lokhu okuthunyelwe kungenye yezinto eziningi ezikhuluma nge-Ubuntu. Mhlawumbe hhayi
kube nguyena okhonjiswe kakhulu ukukhuluma kepha nginganikeza umbono wami. Ngokusemthethweni
Ngangena ezweni leLinux ngosuku olufanayo lapho Ubuntu 8.04 baphuma, ngiyazi, uku
Noma ngubani okufanele ngibonakale njengomsebenzisi omusha kodwa isikhathi eside
ukuthi bengilokhu ngingena esihlokweni, futhi uma bengingenayo i-Linux efakiwe kungenxa yokuthi
inkinga ngokuqapha kwami.

Bengihlala nginesifiso semibono yabantu, kanye nesoftware
mahhala kwakha izinkulumo mpikiswano eziningi kepha okukodwa okufanele kakhulu futhi
impikiswano imayelana nokusatshalaliswa okususelwa kuDebian nokuthi yini
Kusencane kakhulu uma kuqhathaniswa nokunye: Ubuntu.

Uqale kanjani Ubuntu?
Usomabhizinisi okuthiwa UMark Shuttleworth, uthengise inkampani yakhe ngaphambi kokuthi 'bubble.com' iqhume ngesamba semali abeseyisebenzisa:
-Ukuba yisivakashi sasemkhathini.
Kusungulwe inkampani entsha ezokwakha uhlelo olusha lokusebenza.
Ekugcineni ngathola ICanonical Ltd..
futhi ngaqala ukwenza uhlelo lokusebenza (ngaleso sikhathi ngaphandle kwe-
name) mahhala, atholakala kuwo wonke umuntu, atholakala kuDebian nakuzo zonke lezo zinto
abakwaziyo ngenhliziyo.
Esikhathini esithile kamuva kukhishwa inguqulo yokuqala (esivele ibizwa nge-Ubuntu 4.10)
ngenkonzo yabo yokuthi 'bahambise emakhaya ama-CD amahhala mahhala' futhi
izovuselelwa njalo ezinyangeni eziyi-6 ngenguqulo entsha.
Kuze kube lapha yonke into ejwayelekile, akunjalo? UNGENZI! Ngaleso sikhathi uBuntu wayengekho kakhulu
kwaziwa kepha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi yakhula futhi yaqala ukuba nkulu
umphakathi (ikakhulukazi owenziwe abasebenzisi abasha emhlabeni
I-Linux).

Ubuntu buqala ukubukelwa phansi:
Ngakho-ke Ubuntu uletha abasebenzisi abasha ezweni le-Linux, abaqala uku
sebenzisana nabasebenzisi abaphambili kakhulu, abasebenzisi abaphambili baba
uzizwe uphakeme futhi kuyabakhathaza ukuthi abantu abazi 'okuncane kakhulu' bangakwazi
sebenzisa i-Linux futhi ufeze izinto ezifanayo njengabo. Yilapho i-
'Debianitas' ukukhuluma kabi nge-Ubuntu nabasebenzisi bayo 'abayiziphukuphuku'.
Kukhona nenkulumo yokuthi Ubuntu abuzinzile uma kuqhathaniswa
I-Debian, kungani ifuna ukwenza izinto zibe lula kubasebenzisi bayo
ukufaka engozini ukuzinza kohlelo.
Abaningi bakhala ngomjikelezo wayo wokubuyekeza wezinyanga eziyi-6, obevame kakhulu.
Abanye bacasulwe ukuthi kufaka amaphakheji okuphathelene.
Baqala ukusho ukuthi Ubuntu buphuphuma ngokweqile nokuthi umphakathi wabo omkhulu ubudalwe kuphela ngamaCD amahhala.
Bakhala ngokuthi Ubuntu buthuthukiswa yinkampani ezimele.

Akunakwenzeka ukushiya wonke umuntu anelisekile:
Ukuphela kwendlela yokuthi iLinux ibe nabasebenzisi abaningi bekufudukela ku-
abasebenzisi abasha, phela abasebenzisi abaningi abulethi noma iyiphi
kusimo.
Izosimama kancane kune-Debian kepha ukuphela kwendlela yokwenza uhlelo olusebenzayo lusesikhathini futhi lusebenziseke kalula.
Umjikelezo wezinyanga eziyi-6 uphelele kulabo abangajabule ngezibuyekezo ezingajwayelekile zeDebian.
Amaphakeji okuphathelene akukhona ukufakwa okuyimpoqo.

Abasebenzisi abasha bahlupha kanjani ama-linuxers?
Abaningi bakhala ngokuthi Ubuntu buletha abasebenzisi abafuna konke kube lula,
abadida Ubuntu neLinux, abacabanga ukuthi basebenzisa iDebian,
lokho akuhlukanisi phakathi kwamaphakeji ayimfihlo nawamahhala, asho izinto
umbhedo, obeka imiyalo esigungwini ngaphandle kokwazi ukuthi benzani, njll.
njll.
Bangakhathaza, kepha wena khetha ukubasiza, ubalalele, futhi ubaphendule.
Uma becabanga ukuthi bazi okuningi njengoba wazi ukuthi ungafaka kanjani Ubuntu, ngubani ozokwazi
ndaba! Akekho okufanele afakazele noma yini. Ingabe kuyakukhathaza ukuthi abanandaba
usebenzise amaphakheji okuphathelene? Okungenani abayisebenzisi iWindows noma isoftware ebunjiwe, akunjalo?
Akunakushiwo ukuthi wonke umsebenzisi we-PC uthuthukile. Njalo
abanye bazokwazi okuningi kanti abanye bazokwazi kancane, kanti abanye bazokwazi okungaphansi kokuncane.

Umjikelezo ongapheli 'Wobumnyama Bobuntu':
Kubukeka sengathi wonke umuntu wethukile / uzondekile / awethenjwa ngabesifazane manje.
companies (thanks Microsoft!), bese wonke umuntu ephuma ukukhuluma
okubi, ngokwesibonelo, kusuka kuGoogle ngisho nakuCanonical.
Yilapho imibono eqagelayo iqala khona njenge-'Canonical kuphela. '
udaba lokuhola imali, esikhathini esizayo esiseduze kungenzeka ukuthi ngeke usakwazi
masingenise futhi siqale ukufana ne-Microsoft ', phawula ngokuphelele
kuyahlekisa ngoba kuze kube manje inkampani kaMark ibhalise kuphela
balahlekile, futhi bafuna ukuzenzela inzuzo, kepha lokhu akusho ukuthi bafuna
vele wenze imali. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uhlelo lokusebenza luyoba nobuzenzisi kakhulu
isitayela se-Windows esinegama 'Ubuntu' futhi ake sikhulume ngaso
izinkulungwane (noma ngaleso sikhathi izigidi;) zabasebenzisi bazoyeka ukuyisebenzisa.
Ngemuva kokucacisa iphuzu langaphambilini, isisebenzi saseMandriva siyaphuma sinikeza i-
umbono wakho mayelana neCanonical futhi usebenzisa idatha yokulahleka kwe
Inkampani kanjiniyela ye-Ubuntu ukusho ukuthi iyancintisana
engenabulungiswa nokuthi kunokuthile okunesithunzi enanini lezindleko onazo
Uhlu lwezincwadi zeBhayibheli.
Bese kuchazwa futhi ukuthi uMnu Shuttleworth uyakhokha
izindleko zamanje kuze kube yilapho iCanonical izenzela inzuzo. Kanjani?
Ukusekela izinkampani ezinkulu nokunikela ngemikhiqizo ethile
ngasese ngezindleko ezingeziwe. Yilapho beqa futhi ukusho
leyo Ubuntu izoba yiWindows nokuthi izothengisa kakhulu
isoftware yokuphatha futhi izonikela kancane kwisoftware yamahhala, ekhathalela kuphela
imali, njll. Ngemuva kwalokho sikhumbula ukulahleka kwe-Canonical bese sigxuma
'okunye' ukusho ukuthi kukhona okuthile okuxakile kulezo zindleko ngaphandle kwenzuzo. Lokho
akuyona i-loop engapheli?

Ngabe Ubuntu buhle noma bubi?
Okwamanje kwenza izinto zibe lula kubasebenzisi abaningi abasha, kusiza (futhi
develops) amaphrojekthi amaningi ngeLaunchpad yakhe, enza iLinux ikhule ku
abasebenzisi (futhi ngokuba ngaphezulu basibhekela kakhulu). Ngabe ukhona owake
Ngabe ushilo ukuthi iCanonical ithengisa izinto ezahlukahlukene ezenziwe kabusha kusayithi labo?
Ngicabanga ukuthi kuhle de facto. I-Canonical ayikwazi ukuphuma ndawo
ube yi-'Microsoft 'ngoba (cishe) bonke abasebenzisi bayo
babezothuthela kwamanye ama-distros afana noFedora noma uMandriva.

Isiphetho:
Wonke umuntu ukhululekile ukusebenzisa i-distro ayifunayo kepha akukuhle ukukwenza
idumela elibi kwabanye mahhala. Ungaba nezizathu zakho zokungasebenzisi
Ubuntu nomshuwalense kuvumelekile, kepha lokho akusho ukuthi kuvumelekile kuyo yonke into
Umhlaba.
