I think Ombuntu is a form of Linux. It, like firefox, is an open source ware. That allows the individual to modify the source code to get the computer to do what they want.

I usually use Firefox as put out by Mozilla without modification by myself. There are sometimes when I HAVE to use IE but rare.
