| he first port of call was finding an operating system that could replace
| Windows. Linux, the free, open-source platform, was the obvious choice. There
| are dozens of Linux-based systems to choose from, but one of the simplest to
| use is Ubuntu. You simply download and install it to your computer and hey
| presto - an operating system. In terms of look and feel, it's a little like a
| cross between Windows and the operating system used for Macs, but it has an
| intuitive interface and comes bundled with essentials such as a word
| processor, spreadsheet application and presentation software, and is fully
| compatible with Microsoft document formats for viewing and editing.
