MSC Comp's Podcasts

MSC Comp also produces a podcast called the MSC Giz Cast.

This is a podcast, or Internet radio show, that is based mostly on Ubuntu, but covers many other topics in the computer world. This Podcast is aimed at the new user of Ubuntu, or people that have not yet tried Ubuntu, but want to learn more about it. The MSC Giz Cast covers the basic aspects of Ubuntu, like programs that you can use to organize your music or pictures, and tries to explain them at ground level. Hopefully after listening to the Podcast people will not feel over whelmed in switching to Ubuntu. Show notes of each episode can be found at either MSC Giz Cast site or you can visit MSC Comp Casts which is the home to the show. You can also visit the Audio Site which has a built in player where you can listen to each episode with out having to download them. You can find links to the audio site at MSC Compcasts. All episodes are recorded in a MP3 format so they can be played on any portable player, or burnt to a disk.

Why Linux?

This is a question I have been asked many times from Windows user's.
There are many good reasons to try Linux to see if it is right for you.
One of the main reasons is the stability of Linux as it is not plagued by viruses and spyware as a windows computer is. Also linux can be a less demanding OS, hence it can run on older hardware.
Though there are many distros(or versions) of Linux out there, Ubuntu has become a favorite in the Linux and tech community with its stability and friendly user interface.

The Ubuntu Advantage

Security:
Security has become a major concern for Window's user as their PC's have become targets for viruses, spyware, trojan horses, and the list goes on. Window's users have to install anti-viruses and security suites to protect themselves from all these attacks. These precautions ,while trying to protect the computer, normally slows the computers performance down as these programs need to run in the back ground to monitor the computers activity.

Customization:

The possibilities are endless when it comes to customizing the Ubuntu environment. The desktop can reflect the user from backgrounds, folder icons, colors, and how applications can be launched. So many open source programs are written to assist the user in this way.
