Ubuntu is designed for new use. You can do most everything with Software 
Centrer and Synaptic Package Manager. But as you get better you can use 
the terminal to do what ever you are capable of doing. Over the years 
have tried many other Linux OS. But always come back to Ubuntu. If it 
hadn't been for their live CD and ease of installing I mite still be 
using MS stuff. Ubuntu isn't a perfect OS. But comes closer than most. I 
think I started with 7.04. So haven't been using as long or as good at 
it as most.
John McCown 68++ and still moving
Just my 2 cents.
