7 reasons why you should use Ubuntu?

I have been using Ubuntu for 4 days now. It makes me addicted to it. Almost of the time I am running Ubuntu on my PC. It likes Ubuntu is my default OS now. Hahaha. But, have you ever try Ubuntu yet? Ubuntu is free though. You can download the latest version or you can get a free copy of the installation disc. The installation disc is also can be used for live CD which mean you can use Ubuntu without need to install it.

But I really do not recommend you to try Ubuntu from the live CD. I am more prefer for you to install it right away. If you using the live CD, everything is slow. That is why I don’t like Ubuntu when my first time using it — from the live CD.

But after I installed it into my machine, wow! I really enjoy it. I have learn many things. Do the typing, download the updates, find the tweaks, solve problems, and many things. I am sure you will feel more enjoy to use Ubuntu like this way rather than using the live CD version.

So why you should use Ubuntu? I know you might not use Ubuntu for a long time period but at least you try and feel how power this Ubuntu is. Don’t use Ubuntu from the live CD. Install it right away into your partition.
