Why use Ubuntu Linux?

,----[ Quote ]
| Aside from being free, secure, stable and easy to use, here are the other 
| deciding factors why I switched to Ubuntu. 
| 
| Good Hardware Support - Ubuntu supports wide range of hardware devices like 
| video cards, sound cards, printers, scanners and web cams. You can find the 
| list of supported hardware here. Ubuntu also includes proprietary drivers to 
| enable essential hardware functionality, without these proprietary drivers 
| your wifi and graphics card will not work at all, or at a minimal level.    
| 
| Eyecandy - If you want to have desktop effects like Windows Vista in your 
| Ubuntu PC, just install Compiz Fusion. Compiz Fusion is far better than 
| Vista, it consumes less RAM and has a lot of cool 3D desktop effects and 
| animations.

Compiz Fusion 0.5.2 - Review

,----[ Quote ]
| Compiz Fusion is certainly bringing some of the more exciting features found 
| on any computing platform to the Linux desktop. With their development 0.5.2 
| release there’s just a whole lot more to get excited about. Widgets will most 
| likely become insanely popular and should quickly see growth of new third  
| party applications for that plugin. “Shift Switcher” is an absolutely great 
| way to manage all your active windows and there’s even a Cover Flow like 
| ability to flip through those active windows. “Expo” is an exciting new way 
| to view all your virtual desktops on one screen. Simply stated, whenever your 
| favorite Linux distro releases their next big release, expect to see Compiz 
| Fusion bundled with it and prepare to be impressed. Now that I have used 
| Compiz Fusion extensively, going back to a regular 2D desktop is just 
| something I’m not willing to do. Nice job Compiz Fusion.
