Why Do I Use Ubuntu?
Having been exposed to Windows 'features' for as long as I can remember in both personal and professional realms, I was on the look out for alternatives. I'd used Unix and Mac at university and had heard of Linux. After some Googling, I plumped for Ubuntu and haven't looked back. After just one week of having a dual boot system I decided that Ubuntu (Karmic) was infinitely better than any Windows OS and got rid of the Windows partition completely.

I have two physical systems a 'junker' (with Lucid Beta 1) and a 'stable' system (with Karmic). Both systems are laptops. Here are the specs:
