Hello john thomas, @john thomas Quote "can you tell me from where can i get the freeware of ubuntu or fedora."
I am sending this message to correct a mistake, the usage freeware means something which is again proprietary but which is distributed free of cost. The correct usage is Free Software. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html Free Software provides you four essential freedoms and it enables all of us to share software and be a part of this community. :D * The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0). * The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this. * The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2). * The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements (and modified versions in general) to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this. So may be the usage freeware was a typo, the usage is wrong. And ubuntu and fedora are two GNU/Linux distributions. And they are not freewares, but Free Softwares. @group Ubuntu is good to start with, but once you feel confident I am sure you will start trying other distros like debian, fedora, gentoo etc. Basically all are the same, you can install the apps on any distro as well as you can use any Desktop Environment like GNOME or KDE, so in short its not just ubuntu's appearance, any distro can be customized to suit your taste. Low ram systems (128) can smoothly run Debian, either etch or lenny. Lower than that, try puppy or something like that. -- Anoop Jacob Thomas --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ "Freedom is the only law".
