Laura has had some problems with Windows XP for a while...more specifically accessing the internet. Tony suggested she give Ubuntu a try as a way to do her stuff online and in other parts of her computing life. Well so for so good. Ubuntu is a free, open source operating system that is run by millions around the world. It does a great job of giving you the tools and software needed to do many tasks such as word processing to managing photos and music. Tony has used it for over a year now and has a good experience. This is indeed a adventure for her.
