Operating System
Introduction
Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) is my recommended operating system (as well as my recommended GNU/Linux distribution). Ubuntu will provide an end user with a free, robust, stable, secure, full featured, easy to use, and up-to-date modern operating system.
If you are not familiar with computers in general, or if you are coming from a Microsoft or Apple background, there will be a learning curve, but the general usage of the system is much the same (and often much easier and more user friendly).
Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) will serve just about anyone admirably. It is a Long Term Support release, which provides a number of benefits over the standard releases (such as Enterprise level stability and three years worth of free, all inclusive updates) .
If you are not sure if Ubuntu (or GNU/Linux in general) is right for you see my “A Case for Ubuntu and GNU/Linux.”
