I’ve never really used a Linux system before. I used Redhat in col­lege for a semes­ter, but con­sid­er­ing I almost failed that class, it is safe to say that my knowl­edge of the free OS(es) is lim­ited. Ubuntu was brought to my atten­tion by my friend and tech­no­log­i­cal supe­rior, Bart. Intrigued by this user-​friendly OS I decided to give it a whirl.
