Very Good, far superior to any Windows or Apple/Macintosh system I have used. Minus adware or bugs...good development. Using Linux, for me using this graphic system works much better than the command programs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ubuntu is easy to load and very intuitive to use

Loaded this CD into my drive and the OS loaded up in about 20 minutes. I did this to a ten year old system that was running an upgraded copy of Windows 7. It had become so slow with bloatware that I had to do something. Ubuntu is easy to load and very intuitive to use. I would have given this 5 stars but for some reason my printer doesn't work anymore with this PC. Since I'm a Linux newbie I have not been able to fix the problem on my own...yet.

I have been using Ubuntu since Vista first came out and never looked back. However I only install LTS versions because I know they are stable and will be supported the longest. When I installed the last LTS (12.04 LTS), I purchased the DVD from LinuxFreak. I could have gotten it free by ordering it from Ubuntu, but that takes quite awhile to receive it. So I ordered it from Amazon.com and got it in two days. To me the cost is nominal. So I decided to again order from LinuxFreak via Amazon.com. I know that I might still have a problem, so to be safe I always back up everything twice to an external drive, once with a backup program and then I copy the "home" folder to the external drive. I also export bookmarks, etc. "just in case". Then I connect to internet using wired connection (ethernet) and I make sure the laptop is fully charged and plugged in. Then it is a simple act of putting the DVD in that ends up never being simple. I had to get into bios to have it boot from the CD/DVD drive instead of the harddrive. That took many attempts to get to that configuration screen instead of constantly bringing up the current Ubuntu operating system. That problem has nothing to do with Ubuntu; in my case it is a Dell problem. Once that works, there are only a few screens. The paperwork (one sheet of paper) that comes with the DVD is all one needs for instructions. I make sure to check 2 boxes on the screen, get the updates while installing and install the 3rd party software. And since I am upgrading and don't have Windows, I select upgrade when it sees that I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed. You can select to replace Windows if it sees that you have Windows or have it so that you keep Windows and also have Ubuntu. You can also use the DVD to boot from and just try out Ubuntu. It went through the whole process and it seemed to be a successful installation, but when after removing the DVD and it restarted, it came up with some kind of error (file missing or something). So I reloaded the DVD. It saw that I had Ubuntu 14.04 and asked did I want to reinstall totally or do I want to reinstall while keeping my documents, etc. I chose the latter and it went through the whole process again. But this time when it restarted after installation, it was just fine. I only had a few apps and programs that were removed because they were downlevel for 14.04, but I just searched for them from the software center and got the versions for 14.04. Some had enhanced functions in the later release, so that was good. Bottom line, everything you need to either try Ubuntu out or to install it is that DVD and the instructions sheet. It is not complicated. In a couple of years, I figure I will be doing it again for 16.04...

I gave up trying to load this operating system. The screen goes blank after about ten minutes of loading.
I can't find any information that has helped me load this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast and easy update of a slow and clunky computer
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2014
I have a refurbished computer that I use as a test platform or "mule". Unfortunately it was running Windows XP, which Microsoft no longer supports. To preserve the operating system was getting complicated. I had a different computer that had Ubuntu Linux 12.04 Long Term Support installed on it. When 14.04 LTS became available,I jumped at the opportunity to get a DVD of it from LinuxFreak, where I have gotten several other DVDs. I had tried to download 14.04 LTS from three different sites, and had three download failures. The DVD, however. worked flawlessly, as usual. Two hints: 1) have the computer connected to the Internet when you install 2) check the box that allows the updates to be installed at the same time. With the LinuxFreak DVD the install should go great.(there are even printed instructions included)
