Chances are you’re reading this on a machine with Micro$oft Windows operating system (OS) installed. Either that, or you’re using Mac OS X, developed and sold by Apple Inc. These are what they called proprietary software – software you cannot copy, modify, and distribute freely. But wait! Hot on the heels of the OS war is today’s release of Gutsy Gibbon, code name for Ubuntu 7.10.
Ubuntu is currently the most popular Linux distribution, an operating system developed with users in mind. Because it’s free and open source, you can install it on laptops, desktops, and servers – as many times as you like! Ubuntu comes with a full set of productivity, internet, drawing and graphics applications, and games. Windows is infamous for its insecurity and unreliability; not Linux! With a default Ubuntu setup, you can rest assured that your system is reasonably safe.

- Compiz Fusion 3D desktop visual effects
- Desktop search
- Fast user switching
