1 Why Ubuntu?

Ubuntu is a recent distribution that continualy evolve. Its based on another distribution: Debian. So we have for example the packet system that have made it famous: apt-get. Ubuntu's advantage is it capacity to evolve quickly, a new stable version is released every 6 months, it « user-friendly » orientation, it philosophy (I let you discover more on this distribution to this address: http://www.ubuntulinux.org), and more generaly the GNU/Linux philosophy that we don't detail here.

The actual stable version is the 5.10 « Breezy Badger » version.This distribution is Desktop orientated. You could use it as a server distribution too, it's not a problem. The next version will be the 6.06 « Dapper Drake » and it'll have a professionnal and a server version.

But you'll ask me something: If Ubuntu is easy as I said, why create a How To on it? As a matter of fact, Oracle have modify it installer for unallowed some distribution. So Oracle cannot be installed, but there is a tips.
