Could Ubuntu Linux rule the future over Mac OS X or even Windows?

Ok. I must admit I just created a computer box with Ubuntu 9. I have been so impressed with this operating system, I started to wonder what was the future of Mac OS X or Windows. I don’t mean question them, but it seems there is lots of excitement behind Ubuntu. There are so many futuristic innovative features I have yet to find in the other mainstream operating systems like Windows or OS X.

Ubuntu is open source. Programmers and general techies love it. It is a very friendly geek operating system which is free due to its open source philosophy. There is lots of open source tools and network features. The interface is completely awesome to work with. I was also shocked how intelligent it was as I plugged in third party devices like my printer. Best of all, they worked with no hitches.

Going back to the feature set, the graphic user interface is friendly. Any monkey brain should be able to figure it out. If you are used to working with OS X or Windows, you should feel pretty comfortable with this. This includes running out of the box applications like Open Office. Open Office is free and open source. It is not quite as intelligent as Microsoft Office, but it does the basic jobs you would expect of Word, Powerpoint, or Excel.

If you need databases installed, you would obviously go with the stellar enterprise level MY SQL. You can install through a “Get program’ option. Since I am a geek head, I love using the session terminal with the ‘sudo apt-get’ command. It is so powerful but yet easy to install the required tools any tech head would need. This includes a developer like me.

I was able to set up a developers environment so fast. This includes the popular integrated development environment (IDE) like Eclipse, and programming languages like Ruby On Rails, PHP, Python, and Java. Also, you get the old dinosaur of C++.

As Linux becomes a standard, it seem Ubuntu is easily becoming a standard as well. Everyone talks about Red Hat (or Fedora) being a very popular flavor of Linux. But why? If you look at the Alexa ranking, Ubuntu exceeds Red Hat in traffic. It shows Ubuntu is gaining steam among the geeks. And remember, it is the geeks who makes the future of technology become mainstream. Also, remember that masses of them are moving away from Microsoft lock down product and moving to open source projects and operating systems. It has been obvious over the years that Linux could be the future and Ubuntu leading it down the road Let’s hope the enterprise corporations will recognize this too.
