Ubuntu Today - Growth And Opportunities.

To speak on this great opportunity and this great program I wanted to share with you some simple and straightforward views on how great a program Ubuntu truly is, and for that I felt this picture would be appropriate to show how well space is used and how straightforward it can be when you look graphically.

Now this is a great tool that can be easily be found by going to Applications > Accessories > Disk Usage Analyzer that gives you a birds eye view of what directories are using the most space, as well as giving you a way to look thoroughly at the design and format of the drive by clicking through each directory to know what is needed and what is not needed as well as what uses the most space.

The beauty of this tool, is in it's simplicity for drive, analysis using Jaunty v9.04 the most recent revision of the Ubuntu Operating System which can be found through the Ubuntu Downloads, where you just need to pick up the ISO image and burn it to a disk, giving you an opportunity to work with it easily. To even improve this further, It is also possible to just pick up an earlier revision then using the terminal command sudo update-manager -d to do a distribution upgrade. That is if you currently have an earlier version of the Ubuntu Operating system environment can more easily move up to the new and improve version that is 9.04. Of course it is depending on what version of the Operating system you currently run, but if you are already running it you know most of this by now and if not well now you do.

This article is using Jaunty as the operating system, so I would suggest either picking up the iso image and burning it to a cd or checking out WUBI which is a great alternative to a full install. Wubi gives you an opportunity to install it like most any other application in Windows, you just need to wait for the download and run the command. Wubi is now officially v9.04, so good to see progress as that is surely one thing that wubi has continued to improve upon, as every day and each hour community based developers are improving it as best they can, to build what will eventually be the better option and the means to escape the closed source world that is Windows.

In conclusion Jaunty (v9.04) has become more and more a de facto standard for those individuals who are interested in something new and different, to see how awesome Open Source Can Truly be, what are your thoughts, why not share them in the comments down below.
