Ubuntu, not worth a dime. No wonder they don't charge.

But it does run Firefox, Thunderbird, Skype, Adobe Flash, etc.

Nothing can be easier than Ubuntu's Synaptic Package Manager's Software
Repository system, where all of the software is available for download
from a single source. No need to search Google for one tool or another,
they're all there in one place.

Well, you just weren't ready for a different operating system. You went
in thinking you need all of the tools of Windows in a place which needs
different tools. If you needed all of those apps, then why in the world
did you even try out Ubuntu?

I use Ubuntu in conjunction with Windows in a dual-boot setup. I can
operate out of either one just fine, it's like wearing two different
sets of clothes. You can't necessarily mix and match the clothes.

Well, that's why they provided these Live CD's, for people like you who
aren't really sure whether they can live outside of Windows. It gives
you some opportunity to test it and reject it (or adopt it). Why
complain about something that didn't even affect you or your system?
