Time for a switch?
There’s been a lot of talk about how good Vista and OS is. However, few know about how good the free and easily usable Linux and its ‘distros’ (short for distribution) are. A few years ago, most people thought that Linux was only for people who were tech savvy and knew computer codes, and it wasn’t for the normal home users.
However, Linux has come a long way in the past few years and has almost made a niche among the users. And, the best part about Linux is that it’s free. Linux has various distributions available for download. Some like Red Hat are for servers, while some like Ubuntu, its cousin Kubuntu, OpenSuse and Fedora are for the desktop.
First, a bit on Kubuntu — this is easily the best operating system from the Linux stable as it’s based on the Ubuntu core system. Kubuntu’s installation is very easy. Maintaining it once it’s installed in your machine is also so simple, that you may feel Kubuntu almost falls into your machine like a ying to the hardware’s yang.
