It's Ubuntu
Did you know that,"I am who I am because of who we all are"?
That is the meaning of Ubuntu. We all need each other and what we contribute to our community manifests itself in its members.
I have been using UBUNTU for a great many months and I must say that I am very pleased with it.
What is UBUNTU? It is an operating system(OS) like WIndows. The difference is that you have more control over how everything looks and feels. There is also a BIG bonus, professional grade FREE SOFTWARE! Mind you, it is not perfect, but the reality is that no operating system is. Also, there is a learning curve ( oh no! NOT LEARNING!), but the wonderful thing is that there is a large community that has your back should you run into problems.
There is also KUbuntu(snazzier look) and EDUbuntu(for the classroom and easier use for beginners).
My favorite thing about it is the freedom. Free software for teaching, business, and family. There are 2 free major graphics programs, The Gimp ( like a Photoshop), and Inkscape (like an Adobe Illustrator). If you don't want to stop using your Windows programs, there are other programs that may allow you to utilize those as well. All of this while not weighing down your hard-drive and memory.
If you have a program behaving badly, simply kill it without having to restart your computer. I like this the most!
Anyhoo, I just wanted to share. I am really very happy using Ubuntu Linux. It sounds scary, but it's no sweat.
