1you may want to rephrase your question, i.e. what type of software are you looking for? which hardware are you using that you need drivers for?– Molly7244Jan 28, 2010 at 19:23

If you're asking if Linux software works on Ubuntu, the answer is yes, as Ubuntu is a "flavor" or "distribution" of Linux. Linux generally refers to just the operating system kernel, the core of the OS. That + the libraries and tools is referred to as GNU/Linux, and Ubuntu is that + a set of programs pre-packaged to work well together, which is called a Linux Distribution.
Ubuntu is Linux:)
- For Software, get familiar with the synaptics software tool and/or apt-get or aptitude. As well look into freshmeat.com.
- For drivers, your best if Ubuntu can't figure it out, is to check ubuntuforums.com and/or go on irssi server irc.freenode.net and room #ubuntu
Through normal applications, wine, codeweavers, I have both my windows, linux apps working flawlessly.
