that's it! you have now joined the ranks of people running ubuntu - the world's leading free operating system
now you will want to know how to install programs, play movies, music and games
guess what?
we wrote another website for you containing all the information you could ever need!
help.ubuntu.com
if you have any problems with ubuntu you can get technical support over the internet for free from
answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu
ubuntu.com/support
or find us in the #ubuntu-uk irc channel on irc.freenode.net
there are thousands of free programs available at the click of a button from the add/remove programs menu
simply select the program you want, and ubuntu downloads and installs it for you!
why bother?
ubuntu doesn't get viruses
ubuntu runs faster and is more stable than windows
ubuntu and the programs that run on it are free and compatible with windows formats
ubuntu runs on older computers that wont run windows vista
ubuntu can run the majority of your windows programs
ubuntu doesn't cost you a penny
ubuntu supports the majority of your hardware out of the box
ubuntu has full automatic updates for all software installed on your system
why is it free?
good question, after all there's no such thing as a free lunch eh?
ubuntu is open-source software, which means that the original blueprints are available for anyone to view, edit and distribute. this means that thousands of programmers around the world are constantly working to improve it and iron out any problems. anyone who is willing can contribute, even you!
it isn't just ubuntu where this is the case: its been happening for thousands of software projects all around the world for decades. did you know for example that as of march 2007 apache, an open-source webserver, powered 58% of all websites on the internet?
we in the ubuntu-uk team volunteer our time to help new users of ubuntu and help with any problems.
