Linux Ubuntu

Ubuntu, is a predominantly desktop oriented Linux distribution, based on Debian GNU/Linux. It is sponsored by Canonical Ltd (owned by Mark Shuttleworth), and the name of the distribution comes from the South African concept of Ubuntu—roughly, "humanity towards others". It differs from Debian in that there is a release every 6 months and support is provided for at least 18 months after release, and in its strong focus on usability. Development is overseen by the Ubuntu Foundation.

Ubuntu version 6.06, codenamed "Dapper Drake", will be supported for 3 years on the desktop and 5 years on the server, instead of the usual 18 months. Ubuntu aims to use only free software to provide an up-to-date yet reasonably stable operating system for the average user. Many reviewers of Ubuntu point out a main part of Ubuntu's success is the fact it has a very large community, including Ubuntu Forums.

Kubuntu and Xubuntu are official subprojects of the Ubuntu project to bring the KDE and XFCE Desktop environments to the Ubuntu core, respectively. Edubuntu is an official subproject "designed for school environments, and should be equally suitable for kids to use at home."

You can download Ubuntu on Ubuntu site (http://www.ubuntu.com/), and you can also requesting for some free CD of Ubuntu.

I have install the Ubuntu system on my PC, although it not support my internal modem but Ubuntu is a good operating system to use, and it's free.
