This is a picture of one of the many Spiral Galaxies in our universe. The Milky Way (our own galaxy) is this type of galaxy and we are situated about two thirds of the way out along one of the spiral arms. Find out more by visiting my astronomy page.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Long Term Support) is nearly here!

The latest update (10.04)of the popular Ubuntu version of the Linux operating system is nearly here. 

Linux is a free, very powerful and secure operating system that is easy to use and share.

Because almost all programs for the Linux OS are free you can legally give your friends a copy.

Most distributions also run directly from the CD or DVD so you can try the OS without installing it. If you then want to install it there will be a link on the desktop and because it is an intelligent OS it will give you the option to shrink your Windows partition or use a separate disk for the install - you can even install it from within windows like a windows program. It then sets up a boot manager to let you choose which OS to run. It is even possible to set it up so that you can run Windows in a window on your Linux desktop!
