Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Ubuntu 8.04 DVD
My DELL laptop does not have an operating system, when i installed Ubuntu all of the sound cards, pads and internet worked automatically!!! it's amazing!!! i spent hours with XP and i still had problems.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Like it
Ubuntu is a great OS. I assemble computers from old parts as a hobby, and Ubuntu is a dream come true as the last step to getting them working again.
