Ubuntu makes great operating system for desktops and laptops, and I enjoy it on my computers for soon eight months. This recent release is great. I installed in on few computers and it completed installation fast without issues. Ubuntu installation recognized and set up all hardware and installed all appropriate drivers. My friend was using it for first time in his life and it took him about 10 minutes to get comfortable, then get online and check his email. Time when Linux installation was a struggle is over. Windows is more hassle to install these days. My computers under Ubuntu run really fast. Nothing pops up and no antivirus eating CPU and memory.
Few people aware of the fact that it comes equipped with complete Office suite! The whole thing is there and it gets installed from the disk together with Ubuntu. I can open Excel files, Word documents etc. Use to be Windows was safe from Linux because Linux was so difficult to use. Today, as Linux got some very cool and advanced interfaces like Gnome and KDE, it is as easy (if not easier) than Windows. For most people who use their computer in a same way as I do: web, email, pictures, music and writing, will be happy with Ubuntu. You just get used to its interface and explore some software that all comes with it.
The USB set is very cool as you can take your Linux with you. Just plug it in, boot, and you enjoy completely secure system on any computer. Browse internet, email, anything, as soon as you done and unplug USB stick, you leave not a trace! Great!

The person who first came up with an idea of putting Ubuntu on USB stick deserves Nobel price. It is like having dishwasher or laundry machine: once you have it, you can't be without it. Having Ubuntu on USB stick is so convenient, secure and portable! People who are unfamiliar with Linux and see it for a first time, they think I'm kidding.
Do you have kids or seniors in a family? Get this thing! You give them the USB key and when they done, you just pull it out and your precious programs, files, all are untouched. I got from my work old (it is new but very outdated) laptop. Under XP this laptop takes 3 minutes to wake up, and it takes another 3 to 5 minutes to wake up.
With this USB stick it boots is under 20 seconds. It is save for your computer(and kids) to plug it in and let them use the computer. For as long as this Ubuntu USB is plugged, the hard drive is not accessible.
It also turns any publicly available computer into secure private machine for as long as you use it. After removing the USB drive from the USB port, nothing of what you have been typing, browsing etc., remains on the computer! It is immune to viruses. It can be plugged into dead, unbootable machine with dead hard drive, or killed by viruses system, and it will start and be ready for work.
The best part is, that you really don't need knowing anything about computers in order to use it. Plug it. Then boot from it. It is simple like that. It works like magic! The stick in the set is high quality Kingston 4Gb very strong and well made. It is not some cheap rebranded junk, it is the real thing. It also includes complete DVD installation in a case you need not merely desktop but complete installation. The set also includes brief video DVD with introduction to Linux. While it is brief, it is informative and shows many commands that will be beneficial to beginner. It also includes printed reference card of various Linux commands. I appreciate quality of this set and manufacturer's attention to needs of new Linux users.

Ubuntu 10.10 on 4gb USB Stick
13 Jan 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
After a few glitches, of my own doing, I got Ubuntu to run on my netbook without having to install it. It is a complete package with useful software. I agree with the other reviewers and I won't repeat their comments here. I especially like the 4gb USB stick and being able to run it from the flash drive.
In case you are wondering about the glitches:
I have severe arthritis and getting the cap off the USB stick was a bit of a chore. I wrote the seller and got a quick response on how to safely open the flash drive.
Secondly, I had to make adjustments in the BIOS to boot from the flash drive. On my ASUS netbook, there is a BIOS function called Boot Booster that needs to be turned off. Once these changes were made, Ubuntu booted up fine. I also contacted the seller about lack of instructions, and again got a quick reply. Silly me, the instructions were on the second page of the packing material and were stuck behind the first page. I was told people often throw away the instructions, thinking they are packing information.
Finally, I had a little trouble getting connected to the internet, but I found the application to automatically connect to my wireless network.
All in all, Ubuntu is a complete operating system at a very affordable price.

EASY TO USE RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX
9 Jun 2011
It is amazing how easy it is to use this product, right out of the box.
The main thing is to have a bit of common sense plus some patience.
What I like about this package? You can take Linux Ubuntu for a spin immediately, without having to install anything or do anything complicated.
The only thing you need is to know how to get to the set-up menus (or BIOS) on your laptop. On my computers, as soon as you boot up your system, you hit F2 or F10.
Note of caution: this assumes that you have a computer that was manufactured within the last six or seven years, which allows booting from a usb flash drive. Otherwise, you'll have to do it from the DVD drive.
Once I had my set-up menu, I changed the boot sequence so that booting from the usb drive took precedence over booting from the hard drive or DVD drive.
I then slipped the ubuntu flash drive into the usb port, rebooted the entire system, and voila! My laptop was now booting into Ubuntu.
-----
The next challenge was connecting to my wireless router. If you are connected via an Ethernet cable, then no problem. For me, finding the icon for the wi-fi connection took a few minutes of probing the various icons, but once I found it, it was easy. Ubuntu was able to easily find my wireless router, and as soon as I typed in the pass key, I was connected.
With the wi-fi working, I was able to immediately get onto the internet and check my email, as well as Google a few articles on Ubuntu.
-----
The nice thing is that I am now able to run Ubuntu on my laptop from the flash drive, and I can keep using it in this manner, until I decide if I really want to do a permanent install or not.
The other nice thing is that I can move Ubuntu between my laptops and my desktop computer, simply by moving the flash drive between them. This is useful since now, all my personal files and operating system environment are on the flash drive.
-----
I haven't really decided if I want to install Ubuntu yet on my laptop, but it has been both fun and easy to use "as is", i.e., my own personal Ubuntu system and operating environment "on a (usb) stick".
Well worth the price for someone who just wants to become familiar with Linux and to be able to take it for a spin.

This is a great little package that includes all anyone, beginner or not, needs to becaome a Linux Expert. The Operating System is a Late Edition of Ubuntu Linux which can be installed or run in various configurations, including layered over a Preexisting Windows System as a Dual Boot and the USB comes with several PDF Manuals that takes you from complete novice to professional level administrator ready to pass one of a number of Professional Linux Certifications. It can't be beat for the money.
