== Distinctive features ==

* Ubuntu developers are based heavily around both the Debian and [[GNOME]] communities, and the distribution is both GNOME based and synchronises releases with the GNOME project. There are ongoing discussions, however, into improving the position of [[KDE]] within the project. These descussionsdiscussions have resulted in the creation of the [[Kubuntu]] project.

* Ubuntu also has a heavy focus on usability, including the widespread use of the [[sudo]] tool for administrative tasks (similarly to [[Mac OS X]]) and attempting to offer a full feature set that works straight from the standard install.

* Another aim of the project is to emphasise [[accessibility]] and [[internationalization]], so that the software is available to as many people as possible.
