Regular readers will know that I've gone linux. Well, I came across this distro [that's a distribution -a kind of 'edition' of linux] which seems to have some interesting features; easy to use, free CD's [if you get there quickly] and a philosophy that quotes Desmond Tutu:
"A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole." [Archbishop Desmond Tutu, from ''No Future Without Forgiveness''] 'Ubuntu' was chosen to sum up the spirit of the distro. If you want to experiment it'll partition your disk for you [just make sure you defrag windows first] so that you can keep windows as your security blanket. I've ordered three disks so that I can give two away to friends. I love the very full screen shots which show you what it looks like to install and what the chief features of the desktop environment are. The proper release is in October this year.
