Yes I am new on Linux ( 5 months ) as I was new on web 2 year before So may I able to write about Linux yes I am because every body is new unknown about all so I am writing here firstly in English then in हिंदी Hindi Ubuntu Linux is not so much old but very fast growing open source Community Team is working in all manner technical and fundamental with in all language Basically windows is only window on internet say on server utilities and Linux is Home of Servers so now when users are coming from windows or graphical desktop environment there is more need of desktop base computing server system which can fulfill Ubuntu. All Packages nearly 30,000 are on there mirrors and 20,000 are on different Deb mirrors which can be obtained just adding some lines in /etc/apt/sources.list all are free very few are commercial and for normal user these are ignorable. 1 Cd's download and no need of drivers (mother board drivers display audio video web cam camera and printer) about 1100 package are in this Cd ( If any body can wait few days Ubuntu ship free Cd to their residence) Now second point Booting If any user have win 98 win 2000 or Win Xp on his computer no worry give 5 gb to Ubuntu 4.5 gb main root / and .5gb for swap with help of parted (Gparted) partition of disk very easy no change in previous windows versions. Boot loader Grub is able to boot all operating systems windows or Linux This is in /boot/grub/menu.lst what type of boot you are doing. If you want to access windows parts in Linux very easy /etc/fstab file is for device mounting mount any part with mkdir command in /media I think no need to say about Mozilla firefox web browser this is default browser in Ubuntu so surfing of web is very easy. About 1 to 2 mb update every day and your system is up to date All type of Word processing Data processing Image and paint related softwares are with command line system as like XP. So any body want hassle proof web surfing with graphically sound software desktop easy and tuned way Ubuntu, All free and licensed open source so for of development also possible. Official forum is https://ubuntuforums.org/ and Main site is https://www.ubuntu.com/ Yes I have tested about 10 Linux distros and many 1 Live Cd based systems but for permanent installation Ubuntu is best for new Linux User You may look many disto on http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ No i dont want to say Ubuntu is perfect there are still problems just like modem driver and all working of Shockwave player and Real player many softwares are windows based so just pull on window also but future is going towards open source so move to free path
I am not expert not perfect but in any way any person want help I am ready in this connection.
