Ubuntu | Kubuntu | Xubuntu Linux
Ubuntu
Linux is currently one of the most popular Linux distributions for its
simplicity and ease of use. This is ideal for new Linux users or for
those wanting to switch from Windows. The CD can either be run
in Live CD mode (runs directly from CD) or it can be installed onto
your hard drive (even a USB Memory
Drive). Once installed,
additional applications can be downloaded and installed easily.
Ubuntu is a community developed, linux-based operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. It contains all the applications you need - a web browser,
email, presentation, document and spreadsheet software, instant messaging and much
more.
Ubuntu
Linux uses the GNOME Desktop and Kubuntu uses the KDE Desktop.
Xubuntu is an official derivative of Ubuntu using the Xfce desktop environment. It is intended for users with less-powerful computers, or those that require a highly efficient desktop environment on faster systems. Xubuntu features primarily GNOME
applications.
The Apple Mac version runs on PPC processors (G3, G4, G5, including
iBooks and PowerBooks) and not
the new Intel Macs. Full details can be found on the Ubuntu website.

This is the best option for those using an external CD/DVD drive
during installation or if
you are unable to run or install in the Live CD mode.
