“This tutorial shows how you can set up an Ubuntu Studio 11.10
desktop that is a full-fledged replacement for a Windows desktop,
i.e. that has all the software that people need to do the things
they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you
get a secure system without DRM restrictions that works even on old
hardware, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge.
Please note that Ubuntu Studio 11.10 uses Xfce as the default
desktop environment (instead of GNOME).”
