Ubuntu is a Linux-based operating system and is the most popular Linux distro out there. Unlike Windows and OS X, Ubuntu is a free, available operating system that can run on many computers, including PCs and Macs.
Here's the wikipedia entry on Ubuntu:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu
The biggest strength of using a Linux-based OS like Ubuntu is that it's free, system requirements are low, and is considered to be more secure than Windows or OS X. The downsides are that Linux-based operating systems are not as user-friendly as Windows or OS X, compatibility issues with Windows-based programs, and wireless support can be flaky.
