I am a fan of Ubuntu. It saves me from worrying of being infected with virus, angry b/c Windows is busy for no reason, too much consumption of RAM or CPU (I have 2GB of RAM but my Ubuntu never consumed more than 1GB at the highest), etc. Anybody who cares about his data should use Ubuntu at any time. |
