Why should we Ubuntu

The say Love is blind.....And i am in love with Ubuntu....so maybe that is why this post.

So what are the reasons one should start using Ubuntu..

• It is free and for once i can do a hell lot of things using a completely legal system
• There is almost every software equivalent in Ubuntu for the software's present in Windows.
• If you do not mess-up with installations and do not posses extremely non-standard hardware then there is nothing to worry about. Ubuntu works like a breeze.
• If you do mess up anything there are a lot of ways by which you can restore back your system, You got a live CD and with an internet connection you can fix almost anything.
• It comes PRE-INSTALLED ( in windows terminology) with everything needed for web-browsing, chatting, listening to music, file unzipper, dvd-writing software, chat-client etc etc. Note that some of these are not available pre installed in windows ( ex. a office suite!!)
  

And finally if you do not want to give up windows applications, there is something called WINE. This can run your windows applications on Ubuntu as well.

Why not other disto's of tux? Ok i do not have a very technical answer to that. However, Ubuntu live cd was the first thing that really made me confident that i too can probably own an LINUX system. I know that even today LINUX is considered exclusively designed for geeks. I am sure the people will change their view if they have a look at UBUNTU.

Infact, a lot of organisations ( colleages, cyber-cafes) are moving over to open-souce OSes. I hope the trend continues....
