Not bad for an independent report

Yeah, yeah, it's a crap pun...

There's an article in The Independent newspaper today which talks about the new Ubuntu machines Dell are selling, and has a pretty positive (if slightly uninformed) review of Ubuntu and how it compares to Windows & OS X.

Nice to see Ubuntu and Linux in general making it into mainstream press where non-geeks can find out about it..

It's "independent" not "independant".

Yes, Linux gets the occasional press coverage even here. And most times the coverage is positive, not negative.

And the coverage is similar: quite uninformed too.

I have no complaints about Ubuntu. For a geek-limited person like myself its very easy to use and has almost all Windoz functions I need.

Unfortunately there are Windoz apps Ubuntu doesn't have that I can't live without such as ATnotes, Ascreen Hunter and Schedule+. So for now I usually use Windoz.

Linux is "this close" to displacing Microsoft. Perhaps computing will return to where it belongs.
