My desktop PC at home has been on hiatus ever since I don’t know when. Because of the huge pile of books and other stuff on my table, I have not been able to use it again. But three days ago, I cleaned my desk! Haha! I installed Ubuntu on my desktop, removing any trace of Vista…

Installing Ubuntu has been very simple in general, especially if you don’t need to modify any default settings. Just insert the CD into the drive and presto! I have been using it when I’m at home and I find it to be a good operating system to use. One thing about it though is that you might need to have a good internet connection in order to do updates or install some software. Because the CD only contains the basic components, the update system highly relies on the internet for its other needs.

It has a very nice interface, similar to that of the Mac. But some hardware take a lot of effort to install, because they are still not yet supported. Despite that, I’d say it’s worth the try. The community is very helpful and suppportive. There are a lot of forums on the internet on the many How-To’s in Ubuntu, so generally you’ll be fine. And it will be a very good experience on your part when you start learning it

By the way, the link for the Ubuntu site is http://www.ubuntu.com. You can either download it directly from them, buy a CD from somewhere or ask for a free CD from them but you’d have to wait for a few weeks.
