Ubuntu’s latest version the “Karmic Koala” is a significant improvement on previous versions in the speed and looks departments the new look start and log-on are very much like Windows in style. It is faster to boot than Windows even on old systems. Any of you who have used a Linux system in the past will be familiar with the idea of it being free and not as susceptible to viruses as Windows but this version of Ubuntu at least is closer to becoming usable for the ordinary user who is living in the Windows only world.

The latest version of OpenOffice comes pre-installed and will do just about anything Microsoft Office will do. It will support all major file formats so opening your Microsoft files will be no problem.

It may just be me but I have always thought Linux systems displayed images much sharper than Window, and the Gimp graphics tool is just superb as good as it gets.

With the addition of VLC Media Player which can be installed as part of the installation or later from the web all multimedia playback options are covered.
