The only thing I don't like is the pass word feature, you must enter a password- but every thing else works nicely- i'm a newbie at this so its different, I've using Ubuntu more than XP now.
To any who wants to use this OS its very simple just a little different open you mind and it will come to you. enjoy.....
Rating:  - Good OS if you have a Degree in IT technology.
Easy to set up but after that it's just one headache after the next with drivers... it's worse than vista, yes I said it...VISTA sucks but at least it can access the internet right out of the box without IT technical configuration.

I found that if I rebooted but pressed F1 and chose one of the options which allowed me to enter commands (I entered [live vga=771 noapic nolapic] it booted up fine with no monitor problems. But not a practical option.
I now use the new Ubuntu version 8.04 which I have no problems with. It's the ... Read More

If I were just learning Ubuntu and had subsequent experience with Window Vista, It would be difficult for me to understand why anyone would even consider the latter OS as preferable, given the vast array of Linux software at minimal if any expense compared to the constant, time consuming, and budget breaking upkeep of Windows programs and the price of many additional applications one may wish to add. Open source software and Linux have provided the opposite experience. Happily my Windows Vista crashed ... Read More
