According to this South AFrican site, ubuntu is a Zulu word that roughly translates as "humanity towards others”. In South Africa we hear it used all the time… “the spirit of ubuntu”, “philosophy of ubuntu”, “the ubuntu way”. Well my basic understanding of the concept is that it means working together to achieve common goals no matter your race, religion or creed.

Ubuntu is also an Operating System for your computer and a pretty good one at that!
