Where to get ubuntu source code?

How do you get the source code for Ubuntu?

  • Answer:

    Ubuntu is whole operating system, and thus is not composed of just source code. You probably want the source of the kernel, for which just type "sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.x.xx" Replace x'es with kernel version you are interested in, typically version of your kernel. Type "uname -r" to find out, example result: 2.6.35-22-generic For which you should type "sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.35" Or just install linux-source, which always contains the latest source code. I don't know where it will be installed, sorry :p For individual programs, look on their webpages.
