Moving to Ubuntu Linux

Moving to Ubuntu Linux

To  the  newcomer,  the  computer  world  can  seem  pretty  forbidding.  The
secret codes for operating these metal beasts are under the control of myste-
rious geeks who speak some language that sounds like English but makes no
sense. Even if you manage to master some corner of the computer contin-
uum, the rug can be pulled out from under you without warning. A program
that  seemed  tame  will  suddenly  grow  fangs.  The  way  you’ve  been  doing
things for months will stop working without notice.

Once you’ve managed to tame the beast even a little it seems like mas-
ochism to consider switching to another operating system, but for many of us
who use, and suffer with, Windows, the choice to continue to use that spawn
of Microsoft may seem masochistic, too.

Spyware, viruses, blue screens of death, confused user interfaces, buggy
programs, security flaws, the list of problems with Windows seems endless.
Many Windows users wonder if there’s a better way, but dread the idea of
learning to tame another beast.

Well, as Marcel Gagné has been showing us for years in his superb books,
his “Cooking with Linux” columns, and on my TV show, Call for Help, there
is a better way, and it’s called Linux. Until recently Linux was the choice of
cellar-dwelling computer geeks and four-eyed server administrators. The idea
of a normal person using Linux on his or her desktop for day-to-day work was
far-fetched to say the least. All that is changing, due in part to the success of
Ubuntu Linux.
