Ubuntu..finally an answer

[Thomas Kaiser]

Just a few questions.

Why did you switch from Windows to Linux (Ubuntulinux)?

Why do you want to upgrade to Hoary?
(Do you miss something in your current Ubuntu?)

What did you get when you upgraded from WIN95 to Win98 to WinNT to
WIN2000 to WinXP in matter of the OS (Operating System, not programs ->
OK, I know USB was a big improvement in the OS). How many third party
application do you have to buy to run a M$ OS in a somehow secure way?

Is Ubuntulinux (Linux) not just a cheap and easy way to do the 'usual'
computer work? (without spending a bunch of cash, except the downloading
and the time you need to read the mailing list (get hints and help
others)). As a side note, installing an configureing has to be done on
other OS's too:-)!
