- Ease of Use
I tried both live CD and install to explore the ubuntu world. The Gnome desktop interface consumes small amount of system resources which is good for low end systems. Casual games similar to windows are available in this OS also such as Freecell and many games are also installed like chess, tetris and four or more etc. The installation seems to take less time than the windows OS. This single CD which mailed freely by the owner can be used as live or install CD as per the user preference. Also there are some useful open source windows tools packed in it. Both the live and install versions contains useful software for normal users and are installed including Open Office, Firefox, Evolution(mail client), CD/DVD creator and Totem Player etc. Most popular media formats are not supported in Totem Player. Only Ogg vorbis and Flac are playable. To play DivX, MP3 and WMV files it requires codec downloads. For every beginner who want to explore the Ubuntu and take a good experience in Linux, it is good starting point.
