Ok, I know that’s quite a claim but I can’t help being proud for being an Ubuntu user. The popular Mac Air got cracked in just two minutes flat at the recent PWN to OWN hacking competition. Geez, I’d be scared to buy one of ‘em expensive Macs if that’s the case.
Good for me I user Kubuntu - the KDE flavor of Ubuntu. Ubuntu stayed secure and uncracked in the said contest. Can’t be prouder!
The Ubuntu Family
Ubuntu comes in four popular flavors - namely:
- Ubuntu - (the original) uses Gnome as its desktop manager
- Kubuntu - (my personal favorite) uses KDE as its desktop manager
- Xubuntu - (the tiny one) uses XFCE as its desktop manager resulting in a simple but fast desktop. I installed in one of my slower laptops
- Edubuntu - (the wise one) also uses Gnome but is designed more for educational purposes
Ubuntu - according to the Edubuntu website - is an ancient African word meaning “humanity to others”. Now that’s some meaning huh? Based on the ever solid Debian Linux-based operating system, all members of the Ubuntu family is easy to upgrade and maintain making it a perfect Linux for those who want to try the free operating system.
Get your copy now - it’s free so piracy won’t be an issue here. After all, why pay for some expensive operating system only to find out that it can be PWNed in just 2 minutes?
