Ubuntu as my OS

Have you heard about this Ubuntu OS? Actually this Operating System is a branch of Linux (actually same at it was…). Its been three months since I installed it on my computer that I’m using in our office. At first I find it hard to understand because in everything that you’re going to do or install you need to go to its command prompt (for windows) but for Ubuntu or Linux they call it Terminal. If you are going to visit Ubuntu.com you will read this paragraph saying Ubuntu OS all about . The paragraph says “Ubuntu is a community developed, Linux-based operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. It contains all the applications you need - a web browser, presentation, document and spreadsheet software, instant messaging and much more.” So, this is actually a Linux program made.

Another good thing about this OS is that it is free to download and if you already installed one the has a lower version you can update it in a newer one as long as your computer qualified on its system requirements. This paragraph again saying that Ubuntu group promise that their OS is always free of charge. This is the quote, again located at the homepage of their website:

The Ubuntu promise

  • Ubuntu will always be free of charge, including enterprise releases and security updates.
  • Ubuntu comes with full commercial support from Canonical and hundreds of companies around the world.
  • Ubuntu includes the very best translations and accessibility infrastructure that the free software community has to offer.
  • Ubuntu CDs contain only free software applications; we encourage you to use free and open source software, improve it and pass it on.”

So, if you are me then why do’n't you try installing it. It is free of charge, no license needed and most of all is that you are free from viruses. Visit ubuntu.com now!
