Ubuntu is the most popular Linux distro; branched off of Debian GNU/Linux, Ubuntu is largely targeted as desktop use. It is famous for it's user friendly nature, six-month version update cycle, and free price. | |||
As of this date, there are several known renditions of Ubuntu-tan. The '''[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/albums/userpics/10570/Ubuntu2.jpg first]''' was posted on 6/12/2005 by the Japanese artist Piro. This Ubuntu-tan is portrayed as a young, wild and happy-go-lucky girl with only a very slight dark-skinned complexion and blue eyes. She is scantily-clad with motif's from the default Human Gnome desktop theme and wears high-heeled sandals. Pieces of the Ubuntu logo are also featured as her hairclip and forming a kind of energy shawl around her chest. | |||
The '''[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/albums/userpics/10570/JKHP_ubuntu1024.jpg second]''' rendition was posted on 10/9/2005 by the Italian artist Juzo-kun. This Ubuntu-tan is older and much more genuinely dark-skinned, but still has a kind and serene quality to her. Her clothing is also a combination of motifs based on the Ubuntu logo and the default Human Gnome desktop theme; however, she also sports armor and a spear, following the trend of depicting all Linux-tans as members of a warrior-class. | The '''[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/albums/userpics/10570/JKHP_ubuntu1024.jpg second]''' rendition was posted on 10/9/2005 by the Italian artist Juzo-kun.

Both versions follow the theme of making Ubuntu a dark-skinned girl of probable African decent, given the South African roots of the Ubuntu Linux distribution. | Both versions follow the theme of making Ubuntu a dark-skinned girl of probable African decent, given the South African roots of the Ubuntu Linux distribution. There have been several fanart renditions of Ubuntu-tan, usually more-or-less modeled after Juzo-kun's design, with varying styles of clothing. | ||
No matter the design, Ubuntu-tan is generally portrayed as happy, friendly and open-minded. She is knowledgeable and forgiving with those new to Linux; all of which are references to the customizable and user-friendly nature of the operating system. She is also generally seen as quite youthful and good looking. | |||
Incidentally, the meaning of the word Ubuntu is generally suggested to mean humanity towards others. | Incidentally, the meaning of the word Ubuntu is generally suggested to mean humanity towards others. | ||
