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 t

Today I was using
Gwibber on my Facebook account and I was wondering " All this with no
effort after the install".
Ahh, come on! Were do you see this in
other Operating systems?
In Windows (Put the version here) you had to
go through all the hassle of opening your web browser (Internet
Explorer, FireFox, Opera, etc) then go to Google.com and search
"Download my favorite social client"!
Then double click the .exe file
and you know the rest, total waste of time!
But with Ubuntu this
aspect has changed. Instead going through all the above steps you only
have to do 2 things after the fresh install:
1. Open Gwiber
2.
Set up you account.
Do you notice the difference? Well I do! You
can enjoy you online social life right away thanks to Gwibber
Developers, Canonical and the Ubuntu Team.
And thanks to the
ingenious MeMenu now you don't have to open Gwibber's window... Just
click your username and ente

Unless you ordered a Ubuntu Lucid Lynx CD from Canonical
you do not know how the new CD cover looks.
Well I am here to tell
you!
For the beginning I will tell you that it does not look BROWN!!!
like the other covers!
The main color of the front part of the cover
is PURPLE(What, NOT BROWN, I thought Ubuntu is all about BROWN!).
Printed
on this background are many white dots in a matrix style. Also the
"10.04 LTS'' text is made of dots, white dots.
The background image
is the default Ubuntu wallpaper!
Here I will show you this picture to
see your self if you don't believe me!
And now for the back part of the
case:
You guessed it... Its all dots, WHITE DOTS! (from were white
dots fashion comes from?)
Inside a balloon the is some text that
says:
Explore Ubuntu.
Like it?
Install it.
Love it!
Here
is the

Now tell me please ( if you know) what is the biggest
problem yo can have with a personal computer?
Bugs?
Viruses?
Driver
Issues?
Kernel Panics (BSODs for WIndows users)?
I think its
Hardware Issues!
Hardware Issues? But why?
Because each time you
have a problem with bugs, software, drivers there is a fix that
sometimes you can do it by yourself by following a tutorial from the
web...
But when you only have one computer and your RAM or Processor
burns is far worse... You cant get online to search the web from your
machine because is currently DEAD...
The only fix is , if you don't
have proper knowledge is to go to a computer shop were they can fix it,
but guess what! IT COSTS $MONEY$... If you have the proper knowledge and
the right tools you can try fix it your self but if you are unsure
DON'T TOUCH IT because you may find yourself paying another 600 dollars
$$$ for a new machine just because you touched your motherboard whe

If you look at the post installation processes after a Ubuntu fresh install you will notice that almost
everything is automated...
Now that is not a common thing in Windows.
When do you see Windows notifying you that hardware drivers are available? Almost never.
But in Ubuntu this is not a rare thing!
In Windows you had to go on the provider website, fill in a form, download the driver, install it and
REBOOT!
In Ubuntu all you have to do is click the New drivers available notification and "Install drivers!”
It can't be more easy than that! All this because of a wonderful program and the developers of this
program!
The program is called jockey-gtk (weird name)... Here is a screenshot!
