Ubuntu Is Not Here To Make Money

Overview

Ubuntu Is Not Here To Make Money aims at promoting Ubuntu and FOSS to Social and Community based organisations. To prove this, if you are in need of a CD you can order one via the the Ubuntu website or contact the team. If you are afraid of installing it in your computer there's no need to worry because you can still use it as a live cd where by Ubuntu runs from your D-drive without installing itself and you can safely logout and remove it.
