| We could customize our desktop, much as we could in Windows, with backgrounds
| and sounds. Rhythmbox, Ubuntu’s media player, ran everything we threw at it:
| mpegs, audio CDs and videos. The Evolution e-mail client reminded us of
| Outlook, with its calendar and three-pane interface. We set it up to retrieve
| our POP e-mail accounts and it performed with nary a hiccup. Tomboy, the
| note-taking application, impressed us.

| When I switched from Windows to Linux last year, a decision I had to make as
| a technology writer was what to do with readers who were still on Microsoft’s
| proprietary operating system.

| On one hand, I felt a responsibility to help them see that for many computing
| requirements, Linux is the superior and more cost-effective choice.
