Like nearly everyone else these days, I use computers to write, read email, browse the web, store music and photos, and generally organize my life. Unlike most people, I'm using a free operating system, rather than Microsoft's Windows/Vista, or Apple's Mac OS. Specifically, I'm using Ubuntu, a popular distribution of GNU/Linux.

Ubuntu is but one of many free software distributions. Distrowatch lists 10 major and more than 100 minor Linux and free BSD distributions, many of which are minor remixes of a handful of the major distributions.
I would encourage others to think about migrating to Linux. It's now possible to buy laptops from Dell with Ubuntu pre-installed, or to install Linux on one of your computers, either as the sole operating system, or as one that co-exists with Windows or the Mac OS.
