nUbuntu or Network Ubuntu was a project to take the existing Ubuntuoperating system LiveCD and Full Installer and remaster it with tools needed for penetration testing servers and networks.

Besides usage for network and server testing, nUbuntu will be made to be a desktop distribution for advanced Linux users.
