When our network manager recently became very enthusiastic about the latest <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/">Ubuntu</a> release (9.04), I asked him to spell it out. This is what he said:<br><br>Ubuntu is <span style="font-weight: bold;">better</span> than Windows (eg. Vista) as follows:<br>
<ul><li>managing memory </li><li>easier to install virtual box, for testing multiple OS environments</li><li>managing
multiple OS environments, it can run 4 separate sessions without
noticeable lag (cf. 2 sessions max with Vista and VMware)</li><li>app support out of the box - it just tells you what you need to run an app and then installs it for you</li><li>no need to run anti virus software</li><li>
more stable, it never seems to fully crash (blue screen of death)<br></li><li>if the window does freeze then it has a kill an app feature which works</li></ul>-- <br>Bill Kerr<br><a href="http://billkerr2.blogspot.com/">http://billkerr2.blogspot.com/</a><br>
