Ubuntu Linux is Desktop Ready

I'm not a Linux superuser, so I try to stick to the quick-to-install distributions that set themselves up without much help from the user. Of course, they also have to be completely free.

Ubuntu Linux definitely fits those needs -- its a full-fledged desktop operating system with most anything needed for business computing.

Download the LiveCD, and try it out without installing it -- if you like what you see, start the installation right from that same LiveCD. The only other thing you'll want is a broadband connection so Synaptic can download and install whatever additional software not on the LiveCD.

If you're looking for a Windows Vista alternative, Ubuntu Linux is definitely worth a look, and I recommend it for users switching from Windows to Linux as a good first-time-Linux distribution.

If you'd like a system pre-loaded with Ubuntu, contact Indigo Computer for pricing and options.
