Man! I just got an information from a friend of mine (who happened to have introduced me to Linux) that on that holy April 24 two days ago, Ubuntu’s server was down several times due to overaccessed. People from around the world accessed ubuntu.com, I think to know more about Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron or because too much people downloaded the iso.
Well, this friend of mine also said that this is the first time that Ubuntu’s release absorbed people’s attention, people-from-around-the-world’s attention. Seeing this phenomenon, it occured to me how people welcome Ubuntu more than they have ever shown. Forums show how people consider Ubuntu as a user friendly Linux, the Linux for newbies (in Unix-based OS), the most down-to-earth Linux, the Linux in which Terminal is (almost) not a must :D. Seeing this trend, we can say that it is impossible that more people will turn to Ubuntu when they find that buying a licensed Windows becomes an expensive thing.
Yeah… let’s wish for the best. I mean, let’s wish that Ubuntu can be as user-friendly as Windows (without loosing its stability) so that we don’t have to spend several hundred dollars only to buy a single compact disc.
