I’ve used Ubuntu for about a year now, and I can assure you it’s everything it’s cracked up to be. The only thing is you have to download the media codecs (.mp3, .mpeg) etc. seperately because they are proprietary. That takes a little patience, but once you get passed that, I can’t see switching back to Windows.

No, I don’t call it Windoze or Window$.

Luke here reveres the number 5 so much that he dares not write its full name, hence “F-VE.”

I’ve never used Ubuntu myself, but I’ve only heard good things. Go for it.

Michelle, I know your address, so I looked you up. There are about 12 sex offenders around you.

And to Eric and Daniel, thanks for the suggestion of Ubuntu. I’ll look into that some more. Hardware compatibility = good.

Ahhh… by the way, the CD’s are free.

I second Ubuntu. I've used a few others at some point in time, but Ubuntu is definately more user-friendly, with a lot more hardware compatibility. Everything from my mom's 6 year old modem to my dad's brand new wireless card in his laptop was recognized. I've never had a distrobution recognize so much hardware. I recommend you download the Live CD, and then order a CD from Shipit off of the www.ubuntu.com homepage. I've ordered about 20 CD's and they're in the mail. I ordered 10 a while back, but with the new release, I needed some more. With Ubuntu, you can't go wrong.

You don’t really have to get me anything. I’ll probably run out and get Linux for Dummies. Maybe that isn’t good enough for you either, but I’m a dummy.

Two plus two only equals F-VE for extremely large values of two. I’m talking regular twos here.

After a long search, I found no evidence suggesting that someone cannot be knighted while dead (but I didn’t find anything suggesting the opposite of that).

Anyhow, I can get you a live Linux distro, but I won’t give you Knoppix.

I resent having to retype this just because your quesca test doesn’t know the right answer (F-VE).

Hey, if you want to check out linux, I really recommend Ubuntu. You can download a livecd I try it out without installing it onto you hard drive. It is probably the most user friendly Linux distro out there. http://www.ubuntulinux.org http://www.ubuntulinux.org
