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:

Email
Surf the web
Burn CDs.
Rip CDs.
Listen to music using the computer.
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 from one language to another.
Use a dictionary program that's much faster than using a book
Learn how to touch type with a touch type learning program.
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.

Yup, three and a half years ago, Ubuntu 5, boringly bland, maybe, was
the slightly most popular Linux distro out of 2500 votes, because each
user was limited to 100 votes. LOL

I am sure it is cultured to worship Microsoft and hide the true fealings
of Windows 7 being regurgitated Vista.

I guess MVP (Microsoft Vista Pusher) get replaced with the tredmill of
certs of MWP (Microsoft Worshiping Pinhead).

Alsways do. Haven't been in the server room for 4 months, no need to it
runs Linux. Access it remote. Vista though, still getting frenzies of
patches.

A feeling you harbor out of your hatred for MS. You need to get a real
****ing life...if that is possible at your advanced age.[color=blue]

Obviously you can't even tell the difference between a server and a
desktop OS.
