Who needs Windows if you have Linux!

I haven’t written any windows troubleshooting steps for awhile coz I’ve been very busy using my Linux Box. I have completely removed windows on my laptop and now i have a complete Linux on my Dell Inspiron 6400 running Ubuntu Linux 7.04. I’ve started using Ubuntu since 2004 but not until now that I realize how powerful Linux Desktop is when Ubuntu released their 6.06 that is when I started to dual boot my Laptop. My Desktop is running on Windows XP Dual Boot with Bayanihan Linux 4. But when Ubuntu Released 7.04 that’s when I completely removed Windows XP on my laptop.

So Why did I chose Linux, simply because I haven’t seen any pop-ups when I browse, No virus for almost 6 months, No Blue Screen Of Death, No more restarting, No Hang Time and Best of All it’s free. When I say free it’s not as free as a beer it’s free as in speech.(Free Software Foundation). Why would you use pirated software when you can use free legal software. Here some of the counterparts of Windows Software to Linux.

 

Microsoft Office………………Open Office

Photoshop……………………….Gimp

Internet Explorer…………….Mozilla Firefox

Microsoft Outlook…………..Mozilla Thunderbird

 

Here are my Screenshots.

 

 

 

 

So why would you choose Linux over Windows, it is up to you.

 

Next time i’ll post how i customize my Linux Desktop. Till then, Act now before it’s too late. :>
