Now there is also a new kid in town called Linux, and although it has been around in one form or another since 1991, it's now starting to attract the attention of disenchanted Windows users.
What makes Linux special is that it runs on any Windows PC and it is Open Source software. This basically means it can be downloaded for free from the internet (www.linux.org).

Now I’ve tried installing Ubuntu on my Mac before, actually just around the time I purchased my MacBook, but many features were on an experimental level back then if they even existed, but I figured that with this new Ubuntu-release, MacBook-support should’ve matured.
