Ubuntu :)

What you think which is the best operating system around? Windows 7, Mac? No its ubuntu :D



I downloaded the latest release of ubuntu i.e 10.10 three months ago (http://ubuntu.com), installed it and found it completely astounding. I was using windows xp earlier. Some of my friends said windows 7 is better than ubuntu, so I decided to give it a try, I got windows 7, it worked all fine but ultimately ubuntu took the cookie. Here are a few reasons.



1.Its the fastest.
I bet you, nothing's faster than this. It starts in 20 secs as compared windows 7 take 30 secs to start. It installs in five to ten minutes whereas windows 7 takes 20 to 30 minutes. Also ubuntu allows you to connect to your internet instantly as soon as you start your computer whereas windows take a longer time.

2.The finest
Ubuntu has an elegant look, soft corners and extremely customizable. You can even make it look like other operating systems like windows or mac with just a change of theme. There are a large range of themes available for ubuntu and they are easy to install.

3.It can run windows softwares.
Yes! your ubuntu can run windows software,  if you want to play games or apps  made for windows, you can. GTA- a very popular game and also NFS runs great with ubuntu. All you need is a software called wine.

4.Lots of apps.
Ubunu has thousands of softwares out there. It has a software center pre-installed , type whatever you want a select the software of your choice.  It has screenlets as you have a widgets bar on windows 7 and ofcourse lot more.

5.More than one desktop.
Ubuntu supports more than one desktops. You can have as many desktops as you want on your computer, it is really helpful when you are working with many applications and they don't fit in one single window. When you switch between these desktops you can apply your animations like 3D cube, which rotates and takes you to another desktop.




6.Help one click away.
If you are stuck anywhere with ubuntu, you can get help instantly. It has a large community and forum. It even has a IRC channel named #ubuntu where you can ask your questions and get answers from experts almost instantly.

7.Virus free.
Yea you no more have to worry about your files because virus's are impossible on ubuntu, you don't even need an antivirus. Read more here > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus

So what else do you need? Download ubuntu.
