Why Linux? To start with it isn't MS which is a mighty plus point. It's free (no bolstering the coffers of a certain Redmond company) and the security is far better since people (many of them) look for bugs and problems. I use Ubuntu (have done since Badger was released) and while some things are a bit puzzling, it's no harder than any other OS so the idea that Linux is only for serious techofiles is all wrong. I'm picking up bits and pieces about it but I'm still at the stage where most stuff needs spelling out patiently. Which means I hope I don't drive you all nuts asking lots of questions.

Hi Bev I like ubuntu too and have now upgraded to 7.04, got my wireless working(with help from linux Emporium). just got into linux on version 6.10 then 2 months ago hard drive packed up. now up and running again.Only real problem up to now is can't play dvds, tried Easy Ubuntu that did not fix it but maybe this new version will have it sorted. Above all Have fun
