About Ubuntu - Linux for Humans A free operating system and desk-top complete with applications for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, internet and just about anything else anyone has ever thought of! Too good to be true? Well you do not need to spend any money at all, but you may have to spend a little time, especially if things go wrong (but that is rare, if you are not doing anything exotic,k such as loading experimental or proprietary (paid for) software! The download is a disk image, which you can burn to DVD as a disk image. Boot from that DVD gives you several options: - to run from DVD, just to try Ubuntu (but you can not save anything, because it has no access to your hard-drives) - To load Ubuntu with your current operating system, so you can choose what you want when the computer starts, or wait for your chosen default to load after a short delay - to eliminate your old system(s) and have only Ubuntu. Ubuntu does everything XP/MS Office can do, and much more. for example: It can deal with MS an othe suppliers filetypes, it uses less resources, so you can load bigger files (useful for rejuvenating older computers), and it asks every time what updates you want, so there is almost no chance of catching something nasty just because you open an e-mail attachment. Well worth the hassle, and as well as the XP like 'Gnome desktop, you also can choose KDE (Kubuntu) which is a bit more difficult to use at first but does more things more easily once you get to know its philosophy, Xubuntu, for more experienced users, even Unix style commands if you must! And you can use Microsoft operating systems at the same time, by installing a virtual machine or emulator - but there are not many programs that need that apart from some games and drivers for unusual devices. Ubuntu includes lots of drivers and detection software, so it usually finds the right one immediately, so your device runs "straight out of the box" without you having to insert a disk and go through the setup wizard process!
