Ubuntu
Hi Fred: Just wondered if you have heard of the Linux based OS called "ubuntu", http://www.ubuntu.com/, or if you have had any dialog about it in the past?
I recently ordered the free CD and installed it on spare PC. It has a very nice GUI and is very similar to Windows. I'm just trying it out. As one who is not familiar with Linux, this seems like an easy way to learn. Maybe in time you might comment about it, if you are interested. Thanks, Gene Consolvo
Yes, Gene; it's come up about half a dozen times before in this newsletter, and yes, it's one of the easier distributions to get going. For links to over 200 (!) freely-downloadable versions of Linux, including Ubuntu, see http://langa.com/newsletters/2005/2005-01-31.htm#2
