Ubuntu 9.10 Operating System Review
Ubuntu has been the first Linux free operating software that has earned a significant approval from the users. It has provided a great user friendly interface with partitioner, excellent browser and office applications. It has been recently released by (Karmic Koala) and represents the open-source Ubuntu 9.10 operating system. The main features of the Ubuntu 9.10 operating system are that it provides free applications, which is unusual in our capitalist world when compared with the expensive software from Microsoft and Apple. When someone thinks of applications being free, it can create a stigma that it will be of low qualit,y or unsafe, or have low reliability from the user perspective. This proves to be wrong when it comes to the Ubuntu 9.10 operating system which is indeed safe and free. It offers quick browsing of the web, a good entertainment package with music shop and photo management. One of the most popular features of Ubuntu 9.10 is that it uses Mozilla Firefox as a browser for the web, which is often a more preferred programme than Internet Explorer. It is hard to argue which browser is better as it has been a long standing battle between the two in a run to win the higher number of users. Overall, there is a stereotype that Internet Explorer is preferred by those who enjoy various pop-ups and spyware. Mozilla Firefox is preferred by those who like tabbed browsing and unrestricted access with freedom of movement all over the net. It is usually those, who prefer open source software, are the ones who go for Mozilla Firefox and subsequently choose the Ubuntu 9.10 operating system.
Other software that is supported by Ubuntu 9.10 operating system is Flash which allows opening media files and is very easy to operate. Those who are keen on creating professional documents and presentations will find Open Office free of charge for their use. It is very similar to Microsoft Office option, yet, it does have different shortcuts specifically for Excel and for the users of Excel it would mean some retraining and learning of the new shortcuts to adjust to Open Office in this case.
Finally, in addition to all above Ubuntu 9.10 operating system has a centre where you can access various free applications that are open source and, needless to say, are absolutely free of charge. There are different groups you can search including graphics, videos, programming and others. If you are interested in graphic editing, Ubuntu 9.10 operating system offers GIMP which is a very simple and easy way to edit pictures and images. There is also Jokosher and Stellarium that bring fun to your computer.
