Do you, or do you want to Ubuntu?

COMMON, Operating systems

I’ve been hearing a lot about Ubuntu lately. If you’ve never heard of Ubuntu, Ubuntu is a community developed operating system for laptops, desktops and servers – and best of all, it’s a completely free software. I recently read in David Vasta’s blog that he will be heading to Common next month to present a Ubuntu session, “Do you Ubuntu?”  Have you tried Ubuntu? It sounds pretty cool. It may be worth checking out at David’s session.
