Installing new software is easier on Ubuntu Linux than on any other operating system I have used. Most Linux software is available free of charge and can be installed with only a few mouseclicks, no technical knowledge required. More than 2,000 free programs are available, all of them easily installed. Installing new peripherals is usually easier on Ubuntu Linux than on other operating systems, if the peripheral is known and is already in Ubuntu's list of thousands of drivers. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2010/10/ubuntu-linux-1010-is-released.html">http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2010/10/ubuntu-linux-1010-is-released.html</a> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- "A good moral character is the first essential in a man."
