Hi,
I use Ubuntu on all my PC computers and on my Toshiba laptop. Works great, automatic updates, easy to install applications (most self install with an add software installer). Ubuntu installs quickly, usually in about 15 to 20 minutes. Comes with latest edition of Open Office, has lots of neat eye candy like beryl if you have a 3D card. Anyhow I like it, it has taken the place of winblows XP and Vista as my main OS. Very stable, had it on my computer now for about a year and a half and no crashes. Almost as much fun as the Amiga. If you join Cedega you can play most of todays windows games on it. Any how give it a try, its free, you can download an ISO image at
www.ubuntu.com. Hope you have a iso burner on your computer.
