Installations

Linux in general and Ubuntu particularly, is a great operating system. It is designed to run for long periods of time, unlike some other systems. It is pretty much stable, taken you know what you are doing. But even choosing Ubuntu as your native OS, you might want to use other operating systems. There are lots of reasons to do it: you’re webmaster and willing to test your new site under various systems; you’re programmer, developing multiplatform application; or you just need to use some tool available only in Windows (such as some commercial accounting software).

Preface
Ubuntu is POSIX-compatible operating system, most updated and most user-friendly. Whether you are planning to begin your adventures in the world of Linux, seeking solution for growing costs on software, or just open to new ideas and alternative solutions, this might be just a place to start.
