This is a short post I wrote in April last year on Open Source Community and since the site has been down for a couple of months now, I've managed to retrieve it back through Waybackmachine:
After much time and effort spent on battling with viruses on windows XP, I finally made a switch to linux, Ubuntu linux. I got to know Ubuntu about 2 years ago when comparing different kinds of linux distros. I've tried and done the installation of Mandrake 10, Suse 9.3, Fedora Core 3 & 4 and some other less known distros.
Of all the distro I've tried, it's undeniable that Ubuntu has the easiest interface to interact with, live cd running straight through cd-rom, easy installation and common softwares were included by default, such as open office, firefox, gaim and etc. Adding and removing program were as easy as a click and go, putting away all the bias that once said linux is only for geek. I am not a geek and I can do that, simply because Ubuntu linux got the power for me to do so.
Another sweet thing to mention is that we are allowed to request Ubuntu CDs for free with active community support.
A few stuff running on my ubuntu are open-office, evolution, gaim, skype and xchat, nothing else in particular. But the whole experence does amazed me and I am aware that this was a great move.
That's all for now, thanks Amy for encouraging me to write here, you should give your old pc a damn try on ubuntu, hehe.
