Chances are that if you are a computer user you have heard of Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X or the new Vista.  These proprietary products are all properly termed operating systems.  An operating system connects you and your applications (programs) with your computer.  

What most computer users do not know is that there are other operating systems available!  Many are not only better but are also free.

Ubuntu is one such operating system that is gaining very rapidly in popularity.  Ubuntu (the word describes an African concept meaning 'humanity towards others' or 'I am what I am because of who we all are') is available for free download at http://www.ubuntu.com and also on CD from several sources including this blogger.
