1:42 PM Whats Unique About Ubuntu |
If we look at Operating Systems in general we see that they have something precious that separates them from others.We see that Mac OS X known user friendliness makes it practically dumb proof, and Windows has its all big collection of software packages. But what about Ubuntu?
Well Ubuntu has a pretty big software collection too, but not as wide as Windows, and it has its level of user friendliness. But that is not enough to separate it from the others. The thing that separates is its COMMUNITY!
Now imagine your self having some problems with you Ubuntu systems. What is the first you would do? Yeah, that is right! You would Google the problem! But what happens if you can't find a solution to your problem because your problem is a bit unique?
Well if I was you I would ask help from the Ubuntu Community.You can ask help from them on their IRC network, that offers a very quick solution if any one knows it.But if you want others to benefit from your experience you would ask for help on the FORUMS.
Now, a good example is the official forums : www.ubuntuforums.org
I had several problems that had a quick solution just by making a free account there and posting a simple thread with the description of my problem.
The community is very active and you can tell that by looking at the bottom of their page.
Make a comparison between their site and the Debian forms. The Debian Forums look like a ghost town when compared to Ubuntu's.
As you can see getting help is easy when using Ubuntu and that is the thing that makes him UNIQUE.
Also the amount of documentation is very large and available in many languages thanks to the people working on it from all over the world.
Now if you do a comparison you will see that no other OS has this at the same level as Ubuntu.
