Ubuntu Linux-Advantages
Ubuntu Linux Is a particular favourite of mine. if all you want to do is Surf the Web and read your online email then Ubuntu Linux really is for you.
Faster Booting and surfing than any Windows system currently in production. The main reason for this is that Linux being open source DOES NOT have all the validation and unrequired system overheads that windows Operating Sytems now have built in to every current system to avoid piracy..
Piracy Protection and Validation
Piracy protection and Validation systems are now being implemented in all modern windows operating system software, and has become a rather draconian. Productivity suffers due to these new implimentations.
Open Source
Linux being open source can be modified by the user (disallowed with windows OS) You can disassemble it and basically do what you like with it with out fear of someone turning you OFF or taking you to the cleaners.
And it doesn't have Draconian piracy protection systems built in or validation software that is constantly monitoring every little change to your Laptop or Desktop PC. Which all the time is reducing your systems performance by using YOUR PCs resources.
Windows Operating systems now bring a whole new meaning to the words Phone Home ET.
Linux and Older Desktop Systems
Most Older Desktops are suitable for Ubuntu Linux, some can't be used, however most can.
Consequently the old PC you threw out a year or two ago may have been fIne running Ubuntu Linux, and could have had a new lease of life.
