[  Mood: Happy ]
The soon-to-released Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) can be pre-ordered on disc! Although the entire operating system will be available for download on October 30, I find it useful to have the system disc as well. The discs are free and come with Live CD so you can test drive the OS before installing it.

I’ve been relying on some flavor of Linux OS for over five years and it just keeps getting easier and easier to use. I now run an entirely Open Source computer and I can do just about anything I want or need. No expensive Microsoft or Mac products on my computer. With most Open Source created with older machines in mind, barring any breakage, my hardware will be good for at least another five years!

Plus, it gives me more money to spend on books!
