Ubuntu Linux Is an Ideal Windows Replacement

Can you use a reliable, free operating system that can run on new or older computers? How about an operating system that comes packed with hundreds of software programs? Do you want to try out a fully functional OS that runs in a live CD session and can coexist with Windows or Mac operating systems on a dual-boot hard drive installation?

While it is common for newcomers to Windows XP or the Mac OS to be dazed by installing and using the software's basic features, installing Ubuntu was a snap -- the process took less than 20 minutes and did not require any system reboots. It is an ideal Linux distribution for the Linux newbie.
