Open Source Aliens

Open Source Aliens

Following the recitation of seemingly hundreds of digits, Microsoft permitted us to reload our computer with the operating system (Windows XP). We then installed oodles of necessary software from CDs and the system didn't even last a day. The problem seems to Microsoft.

So, we tried Ubuntu Linux. We put in one installation CD, once, and the job is done. All the extra programs are downloaded from Ubuntu servers, for free, and everything is working well :)

We were impressed by the principles of the Ubuntu community as the technical expertise.
