I took an old laptop that had Vista on it and wiped it clean then installed Ubuntu. Runs like new!

What do you use an Ubuntu machine for? Games? MS Office? Surfing?

I tried it a couple of years ago and it was just too unique. No common software works on it as far as I know. Maybe I’m grossly ignorant on the subject, though.

My old Vista laptop had a harddrive failure. New HDD, clean install of Ubuntu. I love it.
