Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, based on the Debian Linux and it's freely available with both community and professional support.

The Ubuntu Philosophy: software should be available free of charge, software tools should be usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities, and people should have the freedom to customize and alter their software in whatever way they see fit. The freedoms built around this operating system make Ubuntu fundamentally different from traditional proprietary software: not only are the tools you need available free of charge, you have the right to modify your software until it works the way you want it to.

As all other Ubuntu based distributions, Ubuntu Multimedia Center can also be installed on your hard drive, with the help of the classical Ubuntu installation wizard.
