Who is using Ubuntu?

Check out who and why is using Ubuntu Linux. Read the stories below.

Nick Johnson, Student

I first had a run in with linux a few years ago, when I tried to install Debian on an old mac mini. I saw how amazing it was as a free OS, but I moved back to OS X because it didn't have the things I needed for everyday use.

A few months ago, I needed a new computer. I found that it was cheap and easy to build a desktop from parts off the internet, but I was troubled because it would not run OS X like my old computers. So I decided to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu. I thought that having linux would only be as an experiment, and for if Windows got a virus or crashed, but I was wrong. Ubuntu was both fast and useful, despite s couple problems with the video card. I used to go back to Windows just to play videogames, but now I haven't used it in months. Ubuntu remains fast and stable even after I install tons of programs.

I bought a new Dell PC with Windows Vista pre-installed. Was very dissapointed when I could not use my printer with it. Vista blocking it for some reason even with Vista drivers installed from the manufactor and I never get it fixed. Other program works bad and slow to. The printer worked fine with XP. So I get tired of Vista at the end and replaced to XP. Installed Ubuntu to so I got dualboot. I never will use Vista again.

I can simply not understand how Microsoft can get away with charging 200+ for an OS that cant do a fraction of what ubuntu can do. I was an avid Vista fan, and the thought of changing was daunting, but after 20 min of using ubuntu I was ready to completely liberate myself from the shackles of Microsoft. Change change now. - use wubi
