Ease of use built in
Oct 25th, 2007 Posted in Living my passions | no comment »I think I’m in love – it’s an OS where ease of use is the founding principle!
Ubuntu has just released version 7.10, aka Gutsy Gibbon, and I’m a convert after 1 day.
- The install fits on one CD
- The install CD is also a live CD – you can test run the OS from the CD without changing a thing on your PC, just reboot and you’re back to normal
- When you reboot from the CD, it ejects the disc for you – no rush to beat your boot options
- Running from the CD has a lovely little install me icon to launch the installer
- All the drivers I needed (save my wireless) where there straight away – the wireless just needed the file from my CD
- Auto-install of browser, mail, IM, music, imaging, photos, office, video and games software – no extra downloading needed
- It’s Linux, so it’s free, open source and community based, but it’s not techy – anyone can work with this – no command line stuff needed! Come on world – download and find out how your computer can be intelligent, polite and considerate from the moment you turn it on!
- All the graphical sleek you expect from a modern OS
I’ll stop, but if you haven’t clicked the link yet – get Ubuntu now!
