The recent releases of Ubuntu show the massive strides being made in making Linux a more desktop-friendly OS. With support for OpenOffice as a replacement for Word, Evolution as a replacement for Outlook, and of course Firefox for a browser. Is it time for everyone to ditch Windoze? Probably not just yet, wireless support is still a litte flaky along with screen resolution tweaks which are invariably needed. Anybody who wants to dip their toes in the Linux waters could do worse than giving this a trial. Installation is quite straight forward, just don’t forget to configure the automatic partition re-sizer or you might risk loosing all your existing data. We are Linux advocates here at Blue Star and were well impressed with this distro.
