5.0 out of 5 stars UBUNTU is a User Friendly Version of LINUX
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2016
I recently installed UBUNTU 14.04 on an older Lenova dual core I5 with 6GB RAM. (The disc install was extremely well implimented).
I have been using DOS/Windows for more than 30 years. My first PC was the original IBM DOS based machine (pre windows and mouse)
I have worked with nearly every iteration of MS DOS and WINDOWS through Windows 7. It was after downloading the latest version of Windows I finally decided it was time to part ways with the MicroSoft Empire which IMHO has moved to the dark side with its release of version 10.
I was pleasantly surprised by the look and feel of UBUNTU. I am new to Linux, however I was almost immediately able to do most of the things I normally do with Windows. I was also impressed by the large number of FREE programs available for download. The major difference I see is that LINUX (in all its various flavors) is a global user community supported system, whereas MicroSoft is first and foremost a commercial enterprise constantly gathering information on its users and selling it to corporations who in turn spam users with unwanted advertisements. The commercially available software for Windows is sometimes more polished, but seldom more functional and in many ways Linux developers are catching up. Even if you are not totally disgusted (as I am) with the direction the Windows operating system has taken it is still worthwhile to familiarize yourself with a Linux product. Many can be setup in a duel boot configuration which allows you to maintain both your Windows and Linux applications. Personally I believe the future of computer development for active, creative, thinking Users rests with LINUX and a FREE UNCENSORED INTERNET.

Initally did not have Python available until I figured out how to download all the updates (took about 15 minutes?) Still unable to access? find? Idle (the Python console I like)....Also unable to download/acces the Kindle app through Ubuntu... Else I like its interface page. Very easy to use and the Kindle (free:) Ubuntu info free books... very helpful (if you have another platform that supports Kindle ap).

Worked as expected, I reloaded Ubuntu on my laptop using this disc after a fatal crash (not the software's fault). Just had to go back and download my plugins. Great to use for re-loading as I did or if you just want to try out Ubuntu, as this is the LTS version.

1.0 out of 5 stars This dog won't hunt.
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2015
The product description for this Ubuntu DVD is alluring and extremely seductive as it describes all of the things that this version 14.04 LTS of Ubuntu will be able to do when installed. Truth to tell, the disk did very easily partition my hard drive, set up a dual boot configuration and exhibit a very nice looking Ubuntu desktop to the user. Libre Office seems to work well right out of the box, but Firefox is another story altogether.
This implementation of Ubuntu simply will not connect to the Internet! Or even sense a signal from my wireless router -- at least not in my hands, on my machine (a very smoothly working Win 7 laptop with a reliable wireless Internet connection). Again, truth to tell, the description of this disk on Amazon was very careful not to have any claim that the software would actually connect to the Internet. And it doesn't. So no claim, no foul? And I got exactly the product as described? I think not. Firefox is of no use without an Internet to browse, and none of the multitudinous applications can be downloaded without an Internet connection.
I do not have the skills or experience of a System Admin, so I have now spent spent the better part of two weeks trying to make that Internet connection, without success. It has been very irritating and frustrating, and I have now given up on my main reason for purchase -- to try out Linux and compare it to Windows for Internet browsing.
So, I will rate this Ubuntu implementation 5 stars for overall look and feel, and ease of installation, but only 1 star (actually less) for its total lack of useful operability on the Internet.

Software will install and seems to function. However, I cannot find out how to get drivers to work without taking the time to learn a new computer language. Not very user friendly.

I was able to recover an old windows XP laptop with family photos.
I simply booted the laptop with the CD recovered my photos.
After the recovery I installed The program replacing windows XP. Restored my photos and find it to be a very simple operating system to use and understand.
