Free Operating System

since then, since i started to play with personal computer, i was always fascinated with windows' back then it was just DOS,.(Microsoft Disk Operating System) so you will be needing to operate the operating system through the use of command line interface,

example of commands are:

  • dir
  • md
  • cd
  • copy
  • del
  • etc..
but until i was listening to my college days, which linux was discussed as a free operating system, which i thought was just a hocus focus,(in my mind that i was always using microsoft's products and how come it is free?).

after a couple of months i tried ubuntu, and i was fascinated because you dont need other softwares to operate on your computer. because ubuntu gives you all the benefits and all you can do with your computer are provided after installing the operating system, unlike windows after buying and then installing the Operating System then you need to buy again for microsoft office, to word process.

last two days i installed linux as a permanent operating system on my desktop PC, and then last night i upgraded my UBUNTU 8.10 Desktop Edition to UBUNTU 9.04 Desktop Edition.

linux ubuntu is an enterprise linux, which has so many features.
one of the best features is the always reliable updates(all kinds of updates), the completeness of all-you-need tools(even photo editing software like photoshop has a linux free version called GIMP), and so many other things.

you should try it some time it dont cost a thing and be fascinated that you dont need to spend money to have an all-in-one operating system.
