Ubuntu - a concept of community from Sub-Saharan Africa, often summarized as humanity towards others. Or as I know it, a Linux operating system.
I had installed Vista on my machine, which began giving me problems. One of the IT guys at my office gave me the Ubuntu CD and I have been hooked since. The concept is completely opposite to that of Vista or XP – basically everything is free and open source so any user can change the environment at will. This means that you can really customize your system giving you the freedom XP does not. The thing is I don’t have enough time or patience to really get stuck in – only an excuse I know but it is quite intimidating to stray from what you are used to.
I will keep hammering away to see how far I can get – you never know I might be blogging from MIT soon. (feel free to laugh now)
