The base system and all included software is free, and support is available from the community or by professional support providers.

• Ubuntu Server Edition built on the solid foundation of Debian — known for its robust server installations — the Ubuntu Server Edition has a strong heritage for reliable performance and predictable evolution.
  The latest releases of Ubuntu Server Edition, adds support for several common configurations, bringing to server deployments the ease of use that made Ubuntu famous on the desktop.
