Running Ubuntu Linux on Acer Tablet Notebooks Part I
,----[ Quote ]
| Why Linux is Better:
|
| * Better Price: The cost is $0. You can download the Ubuntu
| install CD or you can order free (no shipping) LTS CDs. The
| second option takes a few weeks
|
| * More Stability & Better Memory Usage: From boot-up to shut
| down, multiple programs and workspaces, ETA of file transfers,
| Linux is made better from the ground up. Ubuntu can run on very
| old computers and notebooks.
|
| * Command Line: I have always enjoyed command line work in DOS
| and was saddened by Microsoft's move away from it. Linux
| effectively embraces the beauty of command line with a strong
| and growing GUI.
|
| * Highly Extensible: 99 percent of all programs you use and
| need are available free of charge. The Windows programs that
| you do need that are not Linux compatible can usually be run
| through Wine, a Windows Emulation program.
|
| * Open Source: Supporting open source means supporting good
| causes, anti-monopoly interests, knowledge and functionality
| for all.
