I am so close to switching over from Windows to Ubuntu Linux. I’ve tried to explore and play with Linux over the years but the latest release, version 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) is a game changer. It is more robust and user friendly than all the previous versions and is poised to go mainstream. Ubuntu Linux is a free, open source operating system. When I say “free” I do mean there is no charge but it is also free from just one corporation developing it. There are thousands of developers around the globe that are building this.
