On looking for the ans of my question. I got this: "*sudo apt-get source <package_name>*" >From this i can get the source of almost all packages. But from where can i get the source of packages that handle the basic functions of ubuntu like commands in shell, gui of ubuntu, network configuration and many more. Also from where can i get the list of applications used in ububtu (i.e. from samllest to biggest applications used in it). Everything used to build ubuntu.
