Publisher's description

From Canonical Ltd :

Ubuntu is a community developed, Linux-based operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. It contains all the applications you need - a web browser, presentation, document and spreadsheet software, instant messaging and much more.

CNET Editor's Note: We realize that Ubuntu is a Linux variation and doesn't belong in the Windows category, but we're hosting it here for the moment.

What's new in this version:

Ubuntu 9.04 includes improved driver support, improved support for themes and customizations, better hot key support, and significantly faster boot-up and shut-down times.

    "Best Free Linux OS Out There"

    by yankeeboy254 on October 16, 2009

    Pros: Easy to use, great support, looks great, performs great, A lot of things are now compatible with Ubuntu, Easy to setup and a great free Linux OS, and something that can really compete with Windows 7 and Snow Leopard.

    Cons: Not everything is compatible with it, and some programs like iTunes aren't compatible with it, because these companies don't make any money from it.

    Summary: A must get Linux OS, easy to use, looks great and is a great all around Os, which can easily compete with Windows and Mac.

    "the coolness of Mac OS x without the pretence and free"

    by Bhduke on October 1, 2009

    Pros: I have been able to customise this system to look exactly the way I want it to. More importantly however, I was able to get it to work with my peripherals right out of the box, including my 1 tb external hard drive, which the system mounted perfectly

    Cons: Lots to learn. Customisation can be a long and frustrating experience. Configuring a dual monitor setup was a job.

    Summary: If you are minimally computer savvy, you will have what it takes to run this system out of the box. The installation was no worse than any Microsoft product. Drivers were up to date, recognising all of my installed hardware.
    And while there is... read more >>

    "Best OS So Far"

    by redsoxhater2468 on September 28, 2009

    Pros: Oh man, everything is a Pro with Ubuntu! Haha, just read the summary, it'll clear things up.

    Cons: Lack of support on mainstream utilities

    Summary: This Operating System is phenomenal, the only one I'll voluntarily use anymore. First of all it is a Unix based OS, so you know it's going to be pretty secure to begin with. Also, most of the software is community rated, making it obvious whether o... read more >>
