Khalil Choudhary, Central Project Co-ordinator (e-Courts), High Court of J&K harmonized these “Awareness cum Training Programs” for the Judicial Officers of the State. While speaking, he said that Ubuntu is a computer operating system based on the Debian Linux distribution and distributed as free and open source software, using its own desktop environment. It is named after the South African philosophy of Ubuntu, which can be translated as “humanity towards others” or “the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity.”
According to Mr Choudhary, the key purpose of the Training Program is to aware the Judicial Officers on the use of Ubuntu Operating System and other applications which are open source and can be easily installed. This Operating System has low virus threat, very stable, secure and having an enormous free software library. If we have a look at the speed, Ubuntu Operating System loads quickly on any computer. With the absence of unnecessary programs and trial software turning down the speed, booting up the machine and opening a program/application say “web browser” takes less time.
