Linux on Your Laptop

For many people, a notebook computer is an indispensable part of their professional and personal lives. The portability and flexibility of a good laptop makes work or play a lot easier and a lot more fun.

Maybe you're a Linux user, or someone who wants to make the jump to Linux. But whenever you're out, you see people working away on their Windows laptops or their MacBooks. And you might think to yourself "I wish I could take Linux mobile like that!"

Well, you can. Whether you install Linux yourself or buy a laptop with the operating system already installed, you can take the power and flexibility of Linux with you wherever you go. This TechTip looks at how to do just that.

As you can see, by looking at the links on the right side of this page. There are a lot of options when it comes to Linux.

My personal favorite has been Ubuntu Linux. Ubuntu Linux is based on the debian kernel and it is a well supported and highly developed Linux operating system.

Ubuntu Linux has several different versions to choose from, based on the type of hardware you will be running it on and the type of tasks you need it for.

Ubuntu Desktop Editions include:

  • Ubuntu Desktop   (available in 32 & 64 bit versions)
  • Ubuntu Server      (great for a L.A.M.P. server)
  • Kubuntu               (Ubuntu with KDE desktop)
  • Edubuntu              (educational side of Ubuntu)
  • Gobuntu               (free software platform)
  • Xubuntu               (for users with less-powerful computers)
  • Ubuntu Ultimate    (fully loaded for gamers & multimedia)
