Simplicity

Ubuntu Linux is the most simple to use Operating System available today. Most of problems for Ubuntu first-time users come from their bad habits that come from usage of only one operating system ever.

As a matter of fact, novice computer users are found to master computer skills faster using Ubuntu Linux than any other Operating System. If you don't believe it imagine how intuitive is pressing "Start" button if you want to turn off computer?

Once you find yourself master the basic usage of the Ubuntu system (that should not take more than a day or two) you will notice that you can do your work much faster and more comfortably than before. Then you will realize that there is even far more that you are able to do with your system. You can comfortably work with the predefined default settings, or you can configure your computer to fit your requirements in a level possible never before.

If you are still undecided, you should know that you can run Ubuntu operating system straight from CD (no need for installation). Since current release you can even install and uninstall Ubuntu as a normal program in your Microsoft Windows, without the need of creating partitions, removing Windows, etc.

Who is using Ubuntu?

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

Chris, Highschool Student

Ubuntu has changed my computer experience for ever. Now I can use my computer for what I want to do and not a big company wants me to do. I've advanced so far into computers just by using Ubuntu. You become more active as a person in the community and discover a whole new family of people that share common interests like you do. Overall Ubuntu is a godsend and I think everyone should try it at least once.

I started using Ubuntu half a year go right after Gutsy Gibbon came out, now I can edit my computer as i wish

Hendoc, Contractor

I have used Linux since 2005 and Ubuntu since 2006. I love the control I have over my own machines. I bought a new machine 2 weeks ago -AMD64x2 4400+- and it came with Vista. As I had never used Vista and I had payed for it, I decided to give it a try. It lasted 6 days before I let Ubuntu Hardy Heron format it to oblivion.

Keaton James P., Student Tech Support

I first discovered Linux when I started doing tech support work at my school about 2 and a half years ago. Back then, we used Fedora Core 4 thin client servers and despite how spartan the setup was, I was so taken by the open source philosophy that I petitioned a friend of mine, a Linux guru, as to what distribution I should use. Sure enough, he suggested Ubuntu.

Now, I'm running the latest version of Kubuntu on my home computer, and even play Steam games through wine! I'm learning to write C, truly mastering the Linux system, and my school even uses Ubuntu Server on it's webserver and will shortly be switching to Edubuntu for our thin clients!

Ubuntu, despite what the critics say, is my favorite distribution because it's so quick and flexible. I can sit down at a workstation with an ubuntu CD and have a working OS in 30 minutes, a customized setup in an hour.

Thanks, to everyone on the Ubuntu team!
