Im just wondering if anybody else knows what it is and if they "use" it.

[Chrizzle]

I've never heard it

[lily.]

Yes, I know what it is. But, that's because I'm a geek.

It's another OS. It's free, and a lot of ppl prefer it to windows. I haven't ever used it, but lately it's crossed my mind to give it a try.

I've heard a lot about it, don't use it.

Mainly because of compatibility issues of progs etc.

Is that another name for the moon?

http://www.ubuntu.com/ i use this form of linux, Im just amazed people still rely on windows. theres no viruses or spyware that can touch a linux pc.

Are you thinking of trying it out?

A lot of programmes and plug ins have compatibility issues with Linux/Don't have a linux version.
You can mostly get past this, but I can't be bothered to try and get past something

EDIT: I've heard good things about Ubuntu.

I know what you mean, a year ago there were a lot of things stopping me from giving up on microsoft, now though there is nothing i cant do on ubuntu i can on xp, theres even a linux version of google earth.

oh thanks for link stropz, I'll have a good read of that in a bit.

[Tanser_Man]

A crap OS which isn't reliable, used it the once and there was problem after problem regarding software.

I'll stick to Windows!

[MarkWaldorf]

I've heard it, but I'm not sure what it means.

[Sophii3x]

I asked this before but no one answered

Is it another name for the Moon?

[andybigbro]

Never Heard of it

[Ruth*Star]

i've never heard of it but at first glance i would of thought it was a programme to put on pcs.

[andybigbro]

Cool Ruth you changed your name

[Ruth*Star]

yeah i wanted something unique, thanks for noticing.

[Rory]

I know what it means but I don't use it. Where's that choice?

[Red Moon]

I don't currently use it because I current own a number of Mac's running OS X and a Sun Ultra 5 running Solaris 10. But somewhere in the cupboard there will be a Linux machine.
