When I started using the Internet, the computer he had bought Microsoft Windows operating system pre-installed on it and like millions of others thought no more about it. That is until the virus began to appear, scaring the pants off everyone, including myself. I have to put up with this for some years, until one day someone mentioned the free operating system Ubuntu, which was the first free Linux distribution I used.
Quite the well written and a platform that is secure. No virus or trojan concerns here. Log on as a user, not an administrator, which is capable of doing everything in the system without question, whether constructive or destructive. Unlike Windows, do not search for and install a firewall before using the computer on the Internet, as with Ubuntu, and many other distributions of Linux and the firewall is already installed and in operation every time you start system by cold. I find this very reassuring.
My first flirtation with the Ubuntu operating system was Ubuntu Feisty Fawn and I was very impressed with him since the beginning. It seemed easy to install and easy to use too. These two qualities have remained constant with the many revisions that have occurred since the first distribution.
In the four years or so have been using the Ubuntu operating system, a notable feature is that with each review comes with a slicker and smarter than the operating system remains easy to use and is safe. For those with an acute aesthetic eye, the graphical desktop can be pretty impressive. But do not stop there. There are some excellent free and useful software that ships with the Ubuntu operating system.
If you fancy a change from the Windows operating system, the Ubuntu operating system comes with a lot of free software included and in my opinion is worth a second look. You never know, you could become an Ubuntu convert.
