If you have ever wanted to give Linux a try on your computer, there is no time better than now with the recent release of Ubuntu 7.04. This top-notch operating system is ideal for people looking for a free alternative to Windows. Ubuntu offers a full office suite, Firefox 2.0, and tons of video/music player programs along with much much more. Ubuntu can also be run without installing it via their Live CD, so you have nothing to lose by giving it a try.

I purchaced a CD of UBUNTU7.04 because i’m at the end of a slow dialup connection.
I purchased a laptop w/win2000 on it.
Installing Linux crashed the machine and i had to install a copy of win XP home to restart.
Now Ubuntu will not install again and i do NOT have a sound from the machine.[no system,or/win media player.
Any thoughts?
Thank you for your kind consideration.
Joseph
