Re: What's on your desktop
Thats a crazy setup... Is that windows or soemthing else?
Yeah, this is ubuntu linux. As far as linuxes go, its pretty easy. If you are computer savvy, and like to tinker around, you should give it a try.
Linux is a free operating system, and most of the software on it is free as well.
Its all based on the Open Source movement: the programs may be redistributed freely, and the source code is available to all who are curious, or wish to improve it.
The only problem is that it is generally made with the computer geek in mind, so things are occasionally a little more technical and less user friendly than Windows and Mac tend to be.
