= About nUboon2Age and Ubuntu =
I first encountered GNU/Linux in 1997 when my ISP was using Debian. I liked its standardization, cautious development approach and the .deb packaging system. I flirted with Linux in 1998 with Corel Linux -- really easy install and beautiful KDE desktop, but was bewildered by the whole lilo/grub boot management dual booting w/ M$'s OSs.  I didn't really start dating until 2009 when I installed Xubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope dual boot w/ XP on an 5 year old laptop with only 238M Ram(!) In May 2010 I had just upgraded the laptop's memory but experienced an XP-related hard disk meltdown, so deleted the M$ virus from the system entirely and installed Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx and fell in love.  In July 2010 I started tinkering with Wubi and Kubuntu to get familiarized with them.

I love Lucid Lynx's gorgeous look and feel, ease of use and the many built-in benefits of Ubuntu like:<<BR>>
{*} The huge Ubuntu community that provides so much support to one another<<BR>>
{*} The Ubuntu Software Center & Synaptic being a quick one-stop 'shop' for loads of FLOSS software<<BR>>
{*} Fast boot time and good performance<<BR>>
{*} Installation that is quick and painless (usually)<<BR>>
{*} Its Debian foundation including the .deb packaging system <<BR>>
{*} The Gnome desktop and environment that is competitve with Windoze and Macintosh for ease of use<<BR>>
{*} The approach Ubuntu has taken to target everyday and new computer users<<BR>>

{*} The emphasis on Python for Ubuntu development<<BR>>
{*} More to come... :)  <<BR>>
