Why Ubuntu ?

Ubuntu is a community developed, Linux-based operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. It contains all the applications you need - a web browser, presentation, document and spreadsheet software, instant messaging and much more.

Quick and easy updates


System requirements

Ubuntu is available for PC, 64-Bit PC and Intel-based Mac architectures. At least 256 MB of RAM is required to run the alternate install CD (384MB of RAM is required to use the live CD based installer). Install requires at least 4 GB of disk space.

Many Windows Software and games work with wine which is free and you can easily install.

There are many Graphical Enhancements as well. Try the windows+tab, windows+e, alt+tab, alt+shift+up keys and you will notice.

Very easy to install software just go System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager enter your password and then in the text box type any thing you want to search and most probably be there click it press apply and it will be installed.

You can also install any software by typing commands in the terminal.

Suppose you want to install vlc through terminal just type the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install vlc
press enter and you are done.

Auto Login + Lock Screen in Ubuntu

First create (as root) the script /usr/bin/gnome-locked-session with the following content:
#!/bin/bash
beryl-manager
gnome-screensaver
gnome-screensaver-command --lock
exec gnome-session

(beryl-manager seems to have to be started before gnome-screensaver as if I start it normally it makes things buggy, like masking the screensaver or so)

Then give it execution rights: sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/gnome-locked-session

now create (still as root) the file /usr/share/xsessions/gnome-locked.desktop with the following content:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=GNOME (locked)
Name[fr]=GNOME (verrouillé)
Comment=This session logs you into GNOME and locks the screen immediately
Comment[fr]=Cette session vous connectera dans GNOME et verrouillera l'écran immédiatement
Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-locked-session
# no icon yet, only the top three are currently used
Icon=
Type=Application

Then if it is not already done, configure the auto-login.

Logoff (well... read the rest before ;-)). At the logon, click "Session" or so (maybe in an "Options" menu) and choose "GNOME (locked)". Login and select "Define as the default session". That's it ! Your session should now start locked, as every time you'll restart your computer :-)

Further if you want to login without locking the screen (for example if you logged off to allow another user to login, then want to login again), you may choose the session "GNOME" at the login screen, then login. Just don't define it as the default session as it would break the auto-login-then-lock configuration...

The gnome-locked-session script might perhaps be tweaked to detect if the session was started automatically but I don't know how... (well, It could simply check the uptime but it won't be very reliable...) Perhaps GDM defines some environment variable that could be used to detect if the session was started automatically ?
