Actually, Linux is used more than we realize. A lot of non-profit organizations probably use it as their operating system, since they can't afford to pay a lot of money for MS. They also need something easy to use, since many of the users are from third world countries, where most aren't experts on IT.
I first heard of Ubuntu from Nabuur. A non profit organization that uses the internet to connect volunteers with those who needed help. One of the tasks was to test Ubuntu. There is a great need for affordable open source material. Something that is easy to use as well. Ubuntu is just that.

I just finished printing a letter in German. It took me a few minutes to set up the keyboard for German letters and I had to save the letter as a web page to print it, but it's OK. It's strange that Open Office printed great on MS. I also printed some photos from F-spot. They turned out great. But if there are some who would like something better... Picassa has a Linux version available. It is a really great photo manager. It lets you play around more and make some changes before printing. I just love digital photography, don't you?

One of my machines surprised me when I tossed in my Ubuntu 9.10 Live CD recently. After I chose to run the live environment before installing, Ubuntu decided to give me a notification that I hadn't seen before:
It appears that Ubuntu 9.10 has integrated SMART hard drive monitoring into its notifications. I decided to click the icon for more information, since that's what the window told me to do.
