Here’s a brief summary of Ubuntu Linux on the desktop —
“you get a great word processor, a brilliant spreadsheet program, a fantastic presentation tool and a good desktop database. “you get compatibility for Microsoft Office documents. for e-mailing, there is Evolution that offers connectivity to Microsoft Exchange and also Mozilla Thunderbird.
Calendar applications are galore. A host of commercial and open source tools for multimedia authoring,image manipulation and desktop publishing.
Applications like Scribus, Blender 3D and GIMP are the best-of-breed and have the capacity to rival their commercial counterparts. For web browsing, Mozilla Firefox comes pre-installed.”
We think the Linux operating system helps computer geeks and programmers become great at what they do! They can learn to code, administer web servers, create software for open systems on the market such as the Google G1 cell phone; build widgets for MySpace, BlackPlanet.com, FaceBook and other social sites.
Linux offers advantages to your “digital children.” When they are sponges and can learn almost anything you put before them, hit them with a flavor of the LINUX OS.
