In a world in which Microsoft dominates the desktop market with its Windows operating system, what many computer users don’t realise is that there are other alternatives – alternatives that are not only free of spyware, adware, and viruses, but also completely free of charge.
Traditionally, Linux has been an overly complicated operating system used only by professionals in a server environment.
However, Linux has been gaining a lot of ground in the desktop market in recent years and has established itself as a serious competitor to Microsoft Windows in the desktop market for both home and professional use.
With literally hundreds of different Linux distributions available, finding the right one is an increasingly difficult task.
One distribution that stands head and shoulders above all others is Canonical’s fantastic Linux distribution Ubuntu.
Ubuntu prides itself as being the most user-friendly and robust Linux distribution to date, and it has proven to be a fantastic alternative to Microsoft Windows.
Not only is it free of any charges, but it also comes bundled with thousands of tools and applications straight out of the box, guaranteed to help users get the job done.
Those interested in checking out the increasingly popular Ubuntu Linux distribution can point their web browser to www.ubuntu.com to either download or order a free copy of the latest Linux distribution.
