Ubuntu sponsored by the UK-based company Canonical Ltd, is a computer operating system originally based on the Debian GNU/Linux distribution and distributed as free and open source software with additional proprietary software available. Canonical has launched a new desktop environment called Unity on the Ubuntu Developer Summit (UDS). Unity is designed for netbooks and touch devices. The new shell is designed to use screen space more efficiently, consume fewer system resources than a conventional desktop environment and includes a new panel and application launcher. In this video (00:56:30) Mark Shuttleworth discusses Unity, the shell for the, Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10 at Debconf 2010.
