Sorry that I don't have pictures, I'm not on Ubuntu now, I'm on XP lol.
Ubuntu is a very interesting OS, it runs very fast and you can even install it on a lame-ass pc, it wont break. 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, presentation, document and spreadsheet software, instant messaging and much more.
You can download Ubuntu or get a free CD on www.ubuntu.com (if this isn't allowed i'll remove it)
Hope you all enjoy my guide, thnx.
