Hi Everyone,

I have downloaded Ubuntu 7.1 (Gutsy Gibbon) and I am about to install. I noticed on the Download Windows it said, "Need Help? Visit Ubuntu forums." That's how I found my way here.

Why did I decide to try Ubuntu?

I use Windows XP and it's one distraction after another. There are constant updates, unwanted pop-up windows, and I can't find a simple solution when performance slows down. I read "Gunk Buster", and after trying it's techniques I feel Windows has so many places for Gunk to build-up, its hopeless. So I decided to try a Linux based operating system in the hope that I would find operations that are simple to perform and which execute efficiently.

Have I come to the right place?
