Ubuntu Linux 5.10 review Editors Choice Award

Thursday 1 June 2006, 4:43 PM

Ubuntu is good for first time users.


Ubuntu Live and the full install is great for first time users. However, linux as a whole is still not ready for the masses of windows users that depend on dumbed down commands and spoon fed answers.

I use Ubuntu as a starter for new users and have them graduate to SUSE after a few months.

Verdict

Ubuntu is a well integrated, practical and absolutely free Linux distribution. There may be worries about support, but the Canonical organisation is building a good reputation and the head of steam in the wider Ubuntu community should provide decent local support from third parties, too.

Free
