  2. Absolutely! Been using Ubuntu for over a year. Has been 100% reliable, stable, trouble free and of course fun and easy to use. It’s what computers should be.

On the contrary, it possesses the spirit of its name. Go Ubuntu! Thanks for the great video.

I use Ubuntu for 2 days,I never had money for windows,I find that this is a lot better the the average windws xp,it does more work for me,it automatically logs in on the internet,in windows I would of been forced to waste one minute to log in with the password to acces the internet,it has a lot more great things,it is,by far,the best o.s. I have ever used.
