7 reasons for switching to Ubuntu

March 2nd, 2009 by Giridhar | Posted under Linux.

This time I am trying to convince you with some reasons for switching to Ubuntu.

1.Support – You would be provided with a long term support (3 Years) for Desktop from Ubuntu. We have a very wide supporting community for your each and every problems.

2. Install Ubuntu within Windows - The BIG pain is no more .. It was always a pain to have a separate partition for Linux, and that may be the biggest reason for a newbie to keep away from Linux . Now with WUBI you can install Ubuntu in windows itself. That means no need to format your hard-disk for Linux now.

3. Linux Safe & Secure – Any kid knows this , But I just repeat.

4. New Search feature - New release bundle with Windows like search feature.

5. Graphics – Graphics lovers , Ubuntu is for you too. Now we will get a rich feel with enhanced graphics, 3D effects and animations.

6. Universal Device Support – Most of the popular devices a supported out of box now. Else we have a very active community which is ready to help you out there.

7. FREE – This is one of the main reason which you should think about when planing to switch. Ubuntu is free and it is bundled with a lot of free software with it.(or otherwise Ubuntu only bundles free software with it)

Are you convinced? or still need more reasons ?

Need more reasons?
