| Only Fourteen More Days to Go! and you can download the new Ubuntu, Karmic Koala, Ubuntu 9.10 from [url]http://www.ubuntu.com/[/url] and it's free and comes with access to thousands of free programs! What you can do with Ubuntu: Surf the web Burn CDs. Rip CDs. Listen to music. Watch vidoes/DVDs. Scan and print. Spreadsheets. Presentations Newsgroups. HTML editing. Games like Chess, Tetris, all kinds of solitaire, etc. Make videos. Download photos from a camera and organize them. Translations. Use a dictionary Learn how to touch type. Edit images. Send and receive a fax. Take screenshots. Create .PDF files. Create and use a data base. Instant messaging with over 10 different programs in one including Windows Live Messenger. IRC. Bluetooth. and much more! What you can't do with Ubuntu: Worry about: WPA and WGA raising their ugly heads, DRM, Viruses, Root kits, Spyware, and Malware. The reasons that Ubuntu is more secure than Windows are twofold: 1. When *anything* in Ubuntu needs updating or patching, it all comes from the same source and a little orange star appears when any updates or patches are available. It's a known fact that anti virus apps and anti malware apps can only deal with nasties that are known, not the new ones. Hence, it is very important to be updated or patched and not just the operating system but everything that is installed on the computer. Windows has no central updating source and the user has to be checking constantly for updates to their programs or face the possibility of being compromised. 2. In Ubuntu, when anything wants to install, you have to key in your password. With Windows, you have to click on "OK" or nothing at all as is evidenced by drive by malware. Unlike Windows, the Linux kernel is not intertwined with a browser like Windows is with Internet Explorer and the kernel is kept away and protected from the user account. Alias |
