Ubuntu Linux 6.1 - A Desktop Alternative to Windows
Posted on February 24th, 2007 in Ubuntu Linux, Open Source, Ubuntu
We’re busy installing Ubuntu Linux desktop OS and upgrading the office computers here at WebMarket West’s offices in Southern California this weekend. For those of you who haven’t heard about the fine work that Canonical Ltd., is doing with the Ubuntu Project, check it out at ubuntu.com
Ubuntu is a South African word that roughly translates (transliterates, as no direct translation is possible) to suggest a universal bond of sharing. The principle of Ubuntu is “humanity towards others”. After spending the day performing several flawless installs, it does seem that Ubuntu Linux is more than deserving of the title, “Linux for Human Beings”.
After installing Ubuntu Linux 6.10 on 5 computer systems, things are still going smoothly. Once we’re done upgrading our office I hope to provide a more in-depth review and report on why switching to a new Linux desktop operating system might benefit your office.
A great big hat tip to the Ubuntu Project for finally providing a desktop alternative to Windows.
