Can Ubuntu Linux replace Windows Vista for consumers?
Having tried both, neither operating system is perfect but there’s enough in Ubuntu to make a classy alternative.
Having used Windows exclusively since the days of Windows 3.1, I have to say that the last nine months on the road to Windows Vista has been full of more than a few potholes.
And with Microsoft’s draconian licensing and its now understood plan of updating its own update engine without your knowledge, I thought it high time I tried the other side of the fence and give Linux a go.
The flavour I chose was Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn and I’ve got to say, on its own hardware, this is a fantastic operating system.
For the first time in a long time, computing felt like it was a hobby again rather than a global business.
