Looking at ubuntu as an operating system. Is it difficult to work with? Do you receive updates automatically?

computer info in ubuntu image

I heard there are programs you can run to mimic vista to run certain programs, what are they and are they easy to use? My main concern is that I would be getting into something that would be a little to complicated and hands on for my caveman computer knowledge.. Any info or thoughts would much appreciated...

Thank you.

Answer
Ubuntu is much more user friendly than windows. But if you have that windows program you want to run you can always use wine.

Answer
Ubuntu is easy to use but it is not vista.
So there will be changes. But its not that hard. I am a nOOb myself and i am doing pretty good with linux now.

You do recive automatic updates. They are free just like the ubuntu.

To find what programes can replace windows countreparts go to osalt.com
There are loads of them
It is very easy to get something done in linux. If you have any questions post it on ubuntuforum after googling for it


Best of luck.
