Linux Operating System – Things I’ve Learned About This System Over the Years

“Here are some things I’ve learned in the last 5 years of
using Linux( Ubuntu and Kubuntu versions):

“Easy to acquire this technology. Linux is everywhere on the
internet. You simply download it or send for a CD copy of it. I
think the cds cost about $5.00. Not bad for a complete operating
system.

“The system includes a full office suite, e-mail program, web
browser, audio and video programs, graphics programs, photo
software, CD/DVD software etc. Also, there are many different types
of the software mentioned to pick and choose from. I’ve seen
lists of over 20,000 different software packages to choose from.
It’s simply amazing. However, I must mention, just because
this software is free does not mean it is cheap or poorly made. An
example is the Open Office Suite that comes with the operating
system. This suite is made by Sun Microsystems and is equal to and
better than Microsoft Office in many ways. (Have you priced
Microsoft Office lately?)”
