PunBB (http://punbb.informer.com/)
Simple Machines Forum (http://www.simplemachines.org/) (free, but proprietary)
PHPBB (http://www.phpbb.com)
Vanilla (http://getvanilla.com/) (My personal favorite)

thanks mate, are they all ubuntu compatible?
and what is propiety :/

Proprietary means that the source code is not free/opensource. All of the software mentioned above should work on Ubuntu and other Linux distributions.

If they are PHP applications, they will run on any web server with PHP installed.


and what is propiety :/
You are not free to distribute changes you make to the program.
