Being a strict non-geek, I hadn't expected to do anything useful beyond stare at the pretty start-up screen. So I was pleasantly surprised to find myself surfing wirelessly, watching DVDs, creating documents and blogging.
All this painlessly and quickly, too, on a Pentium-M 1.3GHz, which was anaemic running Windows.
So how much does it cost to get Ubuntu, the office software (word processor, spreadsheet + presentation), media players, browser etc?
$0/-
It's a free 700MB download from www.ubuntu.com
Go ahead, do something different today.
