Best things about Ubuntu 9.10
Michael Cole
I recently upgraded from ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10.
At the same time, I upgraded from an older computer to a newer pc I built from parts off newegg.
The Best Thing About Ubuntu?
I didn't have to reinstall my operating system to change computers! Just moved the drive over and linux was able to boot right into a new computer. New motherobard, new cpu (more cores), more mem, more disks, new cd drive, new video card, new screen resolutions.
Somewhere along the way Microsoft trained us to think of the OS as tied very close to the hardware (somewhere between win95 and win98 I think). By doing this they were able to minimize unauthorized copies of their OS. This also make computing and buying new hardware substantially more difficult. And, it dawned an age of cheap, disposable computers.
So that's one more thing to notice about closed software. Not only does it waste consumers time, but it also creates toxic landfill.
