This review is from: Ubuntu 9.10, 4-disks DVD Installation and Reference Set (DVD-ROM)

I am a IT Tech in the Army, we don't use Linux a lot though. I have used it off and on over the past few years but an bu no means a Guru on Linux. Started using Ubuntu 2 years ago. It's a lot easier than most version of Linux out there. I definately recommend it for a beginner, switching over from Windows is a lot easier than you might think with Ubuntu. Have a special program that only runs on Windows? Most likely not a problem with Wine, the Windows emulator.
The videos included are useful though I don't think the handout card with the commands will be very useful for a beginner, better off looking up what you are trying to do on the Ubuntu forums or google it. The set includes both the 32 bit and the 64 bit versions. There's never been a better time to walk away from Windows if you are primarily using computers for internet, email or basic business, If you are a extensive gamer, well, Windows might be for you, There are games for Linux and games that run in Wine, but Windows is likely where you want to stay.

Go with the new Ubuntu releases (you can download them directly from the Ubuntu website for free) and give this package a pass. Please note that some of the other glowing reviews here disuss not this distro... but rather Linux in general etc etc. Look, we like Linux or we wouldn't be here, right? Imo we should be reviewing the product, not making a general commentary on the advantages of Linux over Windoze.

THIS DISTRO is simply not a good distro. Not to mention that as of this writing Ubuntu 10.4 is out so... no need for this any more.)
