I enjoy using Ubuntu because, like many others on the list I'm really impressed with the ability to quickly get and install good quality free programs!
I use Dapper servers at work where I can (internet/intranet mostly), because unlike my Windows Server 2003 servers, I can just set them up and leave them alone. I've set up one Feisty desktop at work just to see how people use it. Somewhat unsurprisingly now it's difficult to get sat at the computer as people seem to prefer it to the XP desktops we get issued with. Again, this is probably for two reasons. One - when you run them side by side, browsing the web, playing movies etc seems much quicker on Ubuntu (although granted, you've got to muck about getting it set up properly first!) Two - when we need a bit of software for a task we don't usually do, usually a quick search in add/remove programs will provide whoever is looking with a good tool for the job. (which is infinitely better than having to jump through hoops getting authorisation to purchase new software!) I also use a Feisty laptop at home (and set up the missuses with it too) for the reasons above. It's also pretty good not having people who I've put onto Ubuntu calling me up whinging that their computer isn't running properly because of viruses and spyware (especially those who enjoy frequenting the seedier sides of the internet!) Software I like: Firefox The Gimp Open Office Draw Qemu (thanks popey!) irssi K3b VLC Cheers Chris -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
