These days I am spending a lot of my spare time during weekdays on 2 very great projects. They are Ubuntu : One of the best and flexible desktop Linux solutions from opensource community. Always having Linux as a desktop solution has been a challenge due to complex installation instruction etc for regular Linux distribution.
But Ubuntu...what can I say, it is a Gem that emerged from all the research and development of highly motivated individuals. It has truly evolved as a challenger for all other Linux desktop solutions and also to "THE WINDOOOOS".
It is so easy to install Ubuntu and play with packages, and applications. There are 100's of 1000's of application now ported to Ubuntu and are "FREELY" as in
"FREE WILLY" available. And best of all is that you can just use command line option "apt-get" to download and install any app directly on Ubuntu. One other OS that tried similar approach is "Linspire" which was also named Lindows (Competitor of windows), but they make this application library as a paid service.
You can now install Ubuntu along with Windows XP directly from a tool inside windows XP ! How cool is that. No more manual partition management, boot.ini edits etc. All done automatically by this neat little tool. (Note: it is not yet supported on Vista)

I will write more about this installer in my next blog, and interesting facts I uncovered.
