Ubuntu and You

Saturday, May 26th, 2007

I just read somewhere that computers are now being shipped that have preloaded Ubuntu Linux-based software as the operating system. I say, good show. Why? Ubuntu has been one that I was testing for a while now. I run it on my laptop from the disk. I love it. If I wasn’t so Windows-dependent I would drop them like a dead fish and move on. Ubuntu has proven itself to be a worthy, reliable system. I enjoy the workspaces it gives me. Check out Ubuntu for yourself. It’s FREE.

Linux has become a more feasible alternative to Windows with their release of different levels of OS like Linux proper and Ubuntu.
