Like Ubuntu, it is a free operating system based on [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open_source_software | free and open source software]] (FLOSS) shipping with the the latest and most up to date multimedia software in the GNU/Linux world. This is the Community driven Ubuntu Studio Documentation page. Anyone is allowed to edit or add to this page, though this page and many others are created by Ubuntu Studio developers. If for instance you would like to create a "howto" page, sign in, and add a link for it [[http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/HowTos | here]]. A wiki guide can be found [[http://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide | here]]. == Try Before Installing == Before installing, you might like to try out Ubuntu Studio by booting from a live image.
