As of this date, there are two known renditions of Ubuntu-tan.  The  '''[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/albums/userpics/10570/Ubuntu2.jpg first]''' was posted on 6/12/2005 by the Japanese artist Piro.  This Ubuntu-tan is portrayed as a young, wild and happy-go-lucky girl with only a very slight dark-skinned complexion and blue eyes.  She is scantily-clad with motif's from the default Human Gnome desktop theme and wears high-heeled sandals.  Pieces of the Ubuntu logo are also featured as her hairclip and forming a kind of energy shawl around her chest.
 
The '''[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/albums/userpics/10570/JKHP_ubuntu1024.jpg second]''' rendition was posted on 10/9/2005 by the Italian artist Juzo-kun.  This Ubuntu-tan is older and much more genuinely dark-skinned, but still has a kind and serene quality to her.  Her clothing is also a combination of motifs based on the Ubuntu logo and the default Human Gnome desktop theme; however, she also sports armor and a spear, following the trend of depicting all Linux-tans as members of a warrior-class.
 
Both versions follow the theme of making Ubuntu a dark-skinned girl of probable African decent, given the South African roots of the Ubuntu Linux distribution.  They are also shown as being friendly and open, given the customizable and user-friendly nature of the operating system.
 
Incidentally, the meaning of the word Ubuntu is generally suggested to mean humanity towards others.
 
Her as yet undrawn sisters include [[Kubuntu-tan]], [[Edubuntu-tan]] and [[Xubuntu-tan]].
