I am happy to report to all my readers, friends and family that I have switched my PC Operating Systems to Ubuntu Hardy Heron. Most of you won't know what that is. Ubuntu is a free open source operating system, that in my opinion, and the opinion of most people who use it, out-performs and generally out-does any Windows system period. I have tried Ubuntu before, but I think my knowledge of linux has come far enough along to actually use this system the way it is intended to be used.
The 10 greatest things about Ubuntu are:1. Completely free
2. Can run on any computer
3. Much much more efficient and faster than Windows
4. Loads and loads of free software, down-loadable and installable at the click of a mouse button
5. Can run serious software for serious computer users, computer gurus, geeks and business users
6. Highly modifiable
7. It can easily run a virtual machine (For instance a virtual Windows PC within my Ubuntu session)
8. I feel great not having to deal with the guilt or annoyance of not-free software
9. The support community for Ubuntu and linux in general is second to none.
10. I feel more like a computer user and less like a corporate mongering hack
So, if you have any computer skills and you want to learn more about using computers and open up a lot more potential on your PC, follow suit!
