Ubiquity is a synonym for omnipresence, the property of being present everywhere.
Ubiquity may also refer to:
Ubiquity is the default installer for Ubuntu and its derivatives. It is run from the Live CD or USB and can be triggered to run from the options on the device or on the desktop of the Live mode. It was first introduced in Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake). Before it begins, it offers the user to change the language to a local language if they prefer. It is designed to be easy to use.
Ubiquity consists of a configuration wizard allowing the user to easily install Ubuntu and shows a slideshow showcasing many of Ubuntu’s features while it is installing. In Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat), the installer team made changes to simplify the tool and speed up the installation wizard.
Ubiquity allows the user to choose the installer to automatically update the software while it's installing. If the user allows this, the installer will download the latest packages from the Ubuntu repository ensuring the system is up to date.
The installer also allows the user to set Ubiquity to install closed source or patented third party software such as Adobe Flash and Fluendo’s MP3 codec software that is commonly needed by users while Ubuntu is installing.
Hollow Earth Expedition is a pulp 1930s role-playing game set in the fictitious Hollow Earth, published by Exile Game Studio. The game has been nominated for several Origins and ENnie awards since its release in 2006.
The main rule book is Hollow Earth Expedition, and it is often abbreviated as HEX.
Hollow Earth Expedition uses the Ubiquity rules, which were also created by Exile Game Studio. The main feature of the system is its use of binary dice pool rolls to determine success. Under the default rules, each even number rolled counts as a success, while odd numbers count as nothing. Odd 'nothings' do not cancel out even 'successes', making dice rolling quick and simple. This binary system has also led to the development of special Ubiquity Dice, which are not detailed below.
Hollow Earth Expedition is set in the 1930s. On the surface, everything appears as it does in our real world history books, but if you dig a little deeper you encounter secret societies and villainous organizations, many of whom have a vested interest in the Hollow Earth.
Mayhemic
From the dark past
Which can eternal lie
Their wrath tyrant.
Death may die
They watch upon the ancient temples.
Time so far
As mutilated steed
They ride the time
Once again
In unknown dimension
Inexorable pendulous sound the march.
We wait the time of their arrival
Towards new aeons of
Not order mayhemic.
They ride the violent way
The eternal stars are revolving
And I with them
In a perfect synchronism
Natural is life energy.
Alone questing the blinded voices
