Intro to Ubuntu Linux What is Ubuntu?

What is Ubuntu Ubuntu is a Linux distro. It is an operating system for your PC. It is free, both as in speech and as in beer. Anyone can modify and improve Ubuntu, similar to wikipedia. Only Microsoft can change Windows, so when a flaw is discovered, it can go a long time unsolved.

Advantages of Ubuntu NO VIRUSES, TROJANS OR SPYWARE!! Regular free updates to fix flaws. Great support from a huge community of users. Easy to install, easy to use. Runs fast and doesn't slow down over time.

Disadvantages Most commercial software is written for Windows, and does not run on Linux This includes Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop etc. BUT! There are equivilants that do the exact same job for almost all programs.

Software Equivlants Microsoft Office OpenOffice Adobe Photoshop GIMP Internet Explorer Mozilla Firefox Windows Live Messenger Pidgin iTunes Amarok Winamp XMMS

But I Like Windows! You can have both!! You can install Ubuntu in a number of ways without touching your Windows install! Ubuntu will be able to see and use all your files. The 2 main ways to do this are to use Wubi, or to dual boot.

Wubi Wubi allows you to install Ubuntu as if it was a Windows program. Installation is as easy as installing a program, and uninstallation can be done through the “Add/Remove Programs” in the Control Panel To use Ubuntu this way, you first start Windows, then click the Ubuntu icon, simple!

Dual Booting It is also possible to install Ubuntu fully while not removing Windows. You will be given a choice when you boot your computer between Ubuntu or Windows. To do this, you split your harddrive into partitions, one for Windows and one for Ubuntu. You can give as much or as little space as you like to Ubuntu, it can be installed using as little as 4GB!

Partitioning? Sounds hard... It really isn't! The Ubuntu installer will take care of pretty much everything. The next few slides will show just how simple installing Ubuntu is. But first, lets have a little fun!
