Try it out first before you install it
on your hard drive:
If you are nervous about
installing it on your hard drive and wiping out your old system before
you've had a chance to try it out fully, have no fear. Ubuntu has
an option where you can run the operating system from the CD first to
try it out and see if you like it. After you boot from the CD, you
will get an option to either try it out by running it from the CD, or
installing it on your hard drive. Try it out first by playing with
it and you'll see how much you like it. And if it doesn't suit
you, simply pull out the CD and restart your computer and your old
operating system will boot.
Full Office Suite included:
Ubuntu comes with a full
Office suite comparable to MS Office, with the main difference is that
the Ubuntu office suite is free. You can edit and create Word
applications, Spreasheets, presentations, and everything else an Office
suite can do. It is fully functioning with no limitations.
The Word Processor has
everything you would expect from a modern, fully-equipped word processor
or desktop publisher. It's simple enough for a quick memo and powerful
enough to create complete books with contents, diagrams, indexes, etc.
You're free to concentrate on your message - while Word Processor makes
it look great. The Wizards feature takes all the hassle out of producing
standard documents such as letters, faxes, agendas, minutes, or carrying
out more complex tasks such as mail merges.
Spreadsheet is the
program you've always wanted. Newcomers find it intuitive and easy to
learn; professional data miners and number crunchers will appreciate the
comprehensive range of advanced functions. Of course, you are free to
use your old Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, or save your work in Excel
format for sending to people who still use Microsoft products. If all
they want to see is your results, then use Portable Document Format (.pdf)
- no need to buy any extra software.
Presentation is an
outstanding tool for creating effective multimedia presentations. Your
presentations will stand out with 2D and 3D clip art, special effects,
animation, and high-impact drawing tools. A complete range of views are
supported: Drawing / Outline / Slides / Notes / Handouts to meet all the
needs of presenters and audiences, plus an optional multi-pane view to
put all the tools at your fingertips. Who needs PowerPoint?
Professional Photo Editing software:
Ubuntu also includes
professional grade photo editing software. Edit your favorite
photos, share them with your friends, save them for future use.
The photo editing suite included with Ubuntu is comparable to Photoshop,
but again, its all free included with this suite.
Adjust the color, remove
red-eye, or make them black and white. There is a great deal you
can do to touch up and enhance your photos.
Get online fast, and talk to
your friends:
The legendary Firefox
browser and an email client is pre-installed. No need to install
anything else. Get online today, and get busy. Everything is
here preinstalled, ready to go. Firefox has become one of the most
popular browsers being used on millions of computers throughout the
world. No more popups or viruses! Firefox with Linux is
about as bulletproof as it gets.
The new way to enjoy video and music:
Ubuntu comes with
Rhythmbox as the fully supported music player, one of the best choices
for playing your music. This fully functional music player allows
you to plug in your MP3 Player, download and share music, and access
rights-free music stores, share albums, and stream live radio.
Rhythmbox gives you access to two music stores (Magantune and Jamendo)
that publish music under the creative commons license and gives you
access to a different way of buying music. Choose your price (50%
goes to the artist). Its a glimpse of the future of music
publishing.
Play Games, burn CD's, listen to
music:
Ubuntu comes
pre-installed with over 15 of your favorite games. From Mahjongg
to chess, solitaire, blackjack, and many more classic favorites.
Burn your favorite music with the preinstalled burner software.
Everything is there for you to use on day 1.
Super Easy to Install:
You need not be a
computer expert to install a new operating system. Linux Ubuntu is
designed to be easy to install and to try out. Simply follow these
easy instructions:
1. Set your
computer to boot from the CD. This is accomplished by going into
the bios settings on startup. When your machine boots up, before
it launches windows, get into your bios by repeatedly tapping the DEL
key, or ESC key, or one of the FN keys (this varies by manufacturer,
there is usually a brief display on bootup that tells you which key to
hit to entire the bios).
2. Once in your
bios, simply navigate to a screen that allows you to set the order of
which devices your computer boots from first. Set it to boot from
the CD first.
3. Install the
Linux CD, save your bios settings, and reboot.
The Linux start screen
will start and lead you through the start up procedure. Its that
simple. |
