Ubuntu is very user friendly, I had it completely up and running within less than a day with full surround sound support, all my firefox plugins, all the applications I use, etc.

There is no reason not to use Ubuntu.

The best thing I can say is their community. If you have problems, just ask it at the forum. There will be many members help you.

Ubuntu for me is far away better from the newly released Vista. No virus, great support, free, great community and a breath of fresh air. I’ve used some other distros last time but i must say Ubuntu us the most user friendly and easy to install of them all.

#Alfred – There is a website that guides you on how to make dual boot Vista and Ubuntu. I can’t remember the link. Found it while I was looking for a tutorial to dual boot XP and Ubuntu.

#tk2 – If you want to use Ubuntu, make sure that you 99% know how to setup your modem in Ubuntu. Because it will save you a lot of time from having to switch between Ubuntu and WinXP.

My experience: I spent more than 3 hours looking for USB wireless adapter driver for my pc. The manual said that it support linux but it’s just simply out of date.

It looks awesome, I will definitely try it when I get the time.
Need to search for a way to dual boot with Vista though.

If you have a link for it send me a mail please

I am still new in Linux distro. So I do not know much about Ubuntu. But so far, I think Linux (in our discussion is Ubuntu) is secure from viruses. Yup, the softwares are all free from viruses because they are maintain by the community. If a virus or malicious script is found, the community will remove the file immediately. That is why I put the community is helpful on number 7. Know what? I am very happy with Ubuntu. Feel safe!

To mriza:

How on earth is this gonna happen? 99.9% if not 100 of additional software to your installed system is downloaded from the official repositories which pass through huge testing and verification for users to download so there is no need of using antivirus software.

If me for example want to write some malicious to give to you thats the most easy to do:

rm -rf /

and make it a bash script. And I tell you this is super duper software. You might run it but each time you are being asked the root’s password so there is no possibility that something will happen without the superuser’s permission (you could be the superuser or the administrator)

So the answer is noone is trying to attack Linux because:

1. its a hacker’s favorite os!

2. its secure by design.

3. the repositories are secured.

4. every security hole thats is discovered is immediatelly fixed.

and many more reasons.
