OVERALL OPINION

its been 14 years since I lutilise
I esailler windows but my pace enormously disappointed that 7 times with a machine running linux 2 moin pulsating faith better
q'il na pa instaler driver and whatsoever free

installation on a PC is no problem in about thirty minutes, it is guided, everything is translated into French.

configuration is very easy, each time the hardware is well recognized.
in my case:
for the Nvidia card, the proprietary driver is installed later easily, webcam Trust, Epson ...

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

PC is a bit old, I know that the processor is an AMD Athlon 1800 Nvidia graphics card
5600 motherboard with integrated sound, so say a lightning war, but the PC is running well and is not too slow, startup is fast enough with the lighter Lubuntu version. there are applications galore via the package manager.

OVERALL OPINION

I use Linux since 2006, I have tested almost all distributions at this time
I use as stated above an Ubuntu variant called Lubuntu, which gives me fully
satisfaction.en more it's free, with a tower at 70 euros secondhand rolling!
in addition, this system is immune to viruses guaranteed.
but I also have my son and my wife another recent PC with Windows seven, it takes all tastes.

Long live Linux!

Update 9 to 10 Extraordinarily slow ... 4 or 5 times more than Windows XP on a small sony vaio 1.10 ghz/1go ram
it is faster to increase from 10 to 12 ...
As for the office, I guess we get used to it ... There's a big difference between the versions / 9 10 and version 12, with its pseudo-doc makes bones senior special hypermyopes ....

Flash on once in 1000 ... Well it would be because of adobe, but still ...

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Good performance if we use for common stuff (office and internet, but video content as flash player plant ... there are alternatives but you need to install things in a certain order, it's like penny swindows 98 ... )

OVERALL OPINION

I have a mixed review.
This is clearly not for me, for a music or video and use
it has the merit of proposing a rather undemanding OS (it seems)
By A for users who program, or to save an old machine ...
It's not bad for a freeware!
but seriously for work, no.

We tend to be lenient when something is free ...
This is an interesting gait, I think it progresses, but making head for music should check that its sound card will be recognized through a lot of galleys ... short mac os is paying much more productive ...

Very good distribution of Linux, it is confirmed for both lunixiens for beginners.
Ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu-fr.org)

- Before installation you can download Ubuntu: Ubuntu DL (ftp://ubuntu.univ-nantes.fr/ubuntu-cd/edgy) burn the CD image, then you can use this CD just to visit the environment without Ubuntu Linux system installation, which is a very good idea because people who do not know this distro can see how it works without taking the head!

- Installation on a PC is done with no worries.
Ubuntu DL (ftp://ubuntu.univ-nantes.fr/ubuntu-cd/edgy)
Just follow the instuctions. If you want a dual boot (for exmple, windows & linux) you have to install Windows first and then Ubuntu (if you do the opposite, windows overwrites GRUB [small program that lets you see the multiboot])
It is advisable to have an ethernet internet connection .... personal, I'm in and I usb galley just to configure my modem.

- Installation with MacInetl is a bit more complex, for the moment there is no version of Ubuntu that supports (actually) the two dual core ... but it will not be long, April 19 released a new version of Ubuntu.

If you are AFiens and want to discuss Ubuntu .... a single address: Pud of Ubunteros ( )

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

As a goal of Linux is to create its own environment, just to know his every needs and install only what you need.
Do not install ubuntu when even if you have less than 256MB of RAM (hint read on the official website fr)

On this point a little update, Ubuntu Studio will be released soon, although a little late:
Ubuntu Sutio (http://ubuntustudio.org)
This distribution is based on the version of ubuntu Festy Fawn (7.04) and is entirely devoted to music and video. I think this one might interest many AFiens.

OVERALL OPINION

For me the value of ubuntu is to have a graphical interface that does not exist in some Linux distributions.
Ubuntero community is very friendly, the forum of the distro is quite active and answers to problems are usually quite clear.
Ubuntu Forum (http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org)

Remember that it is free software, here everyone brings his small stone to the building .....

Installing Ubuntu is we-don't-be simpler, especially if you go via the Live CD.
With automated methods, even novices can run themselves into installing this system.
However, installing via the alternate CD may be less simple and clear, especially for configuring hard disk partitions.

All material on your PC is detected immediately without you having to install any driver.

So after about 15 to 20 minutes of installation, your PC is ready for use, the hardware is recognized and the necessary software (Firefox web browser, media players, burning software, etc. ....) is already installed.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

What is the configuration of your computer? (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Disk / sound card ..)

I have a Core2Duo E6300 configuration, 4GB RAM, 2 160GB HDD in RAID0 and a Geforce 8600GT

The software works he correctly on this configuration?

I turn acutellement Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04) 64-bit, everything works perfect.

What performance? (If quantifiable)

The performances are excellent, largely as good as Windows XP (if not better), and downright more stable and faster than Windows Vista and Seven. Not to mention the stability that is the rendezvous.

For example, at startup, with Vista I had about 1mn30 to have an office ready for use. Under Ubuntu, my PC is started in just 20 seconds.

I run under KDE 4.3 GUI now (Kubuntu) to enjoy more graphical effects and a nicer aesthetic, and performance is still excellent.


OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?

I use it for almost 3 years (I discovered Ubuntu version 7.04, I am now in the final, 9.04).

What thing do you like most/least about it?

What I like most, its gratuitée, its speed, stability, and ease of use. Because contrary to what we think, Linux is now much easier for basic office tasks (such as installing software or using it), the menus are much more intuitive than Windows.
What I like least, that one is a little more than limitté windows, especially at the games, forcing gamers to keep a Windows XP partition.


Did you try many other models before getting this one?

A little every Windows, especially Vista, which disappointed me greatly, hence my move to Ubuntu.
What is your opinion about the value for the price?

Excellent, the OS and its software is completely free.

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? * ...

Without hesitation, and I recommend it highly to my friends who need a computer stable and easy to use for various office tasks (internet browsing, word processing, messaging, multimedia ...)
