I can do everything possible with it. If you have an older Power PC chip on an apple it could even work too (needs a special disc). There are 32 bit, 64 bit and mac versions available.<br /><br />Ubuntu is FREE and always will be. You can download Ubuntu free and burn the ISO image to a disc and try Ubuntu yourself, or order a disc from shipit.ubuntu.com and they will send you an official disc, free. The disc is a LiveCD, which means you can try the operating system out before installing it on your computer. Its a full OS all on one CD.<br /><br />Here A couple of vids...<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYTJPaM82nQ<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5qiHovcbdsjakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09528926838891372189noreply@blogger.com
