Going political and Linux the Ubuntu way
I've posted here before some announcements about the fact that Venezuela was shifting to Linux as their preferred operating system in sync with Cuba who has made a major re-commitment to Linux in an .attempt to grow its open source community and steer further away from tech dependencies on imperialism.
The new range of some Dell computers will come pre-installed with Ubuntu Feisty, the latest Linux release in the Ubuntu distribution. In fact there are many huge corps who have shifted from Windoes to Linux.(You'd be surprized who they are.)
With this latest release *-- Feisty Fawn, two weeks ago -- Ubuntu really comes of age and the ease of installation married to so many features--in effect a complete software package(word processing, layout, web, media, networking,etc) -- for FREE is something that it is hard to ignore. And it is more stable than Windoes, very fewer virus and security issues, etc

Also:
Our laptop has been running slower and slower lately and so over the weekend I decided it was time for a reformat. I have found that Window’s machines need one about every two years anyway, and so it was time.
Instead of reinstalling Windows XP, I decided I was going to load Linux Ubuntu and Windows XP to dual boot. I could use the Ubuntu side and my wife who is already familiar with WinXP could continue to use that operating system. So I set out last week looking up how to reformat my computer to dual boot both Ubuntu and WinXP.
