ultrain-3I’ll be starting a new column in the May 2010 issue of Australian PC User magazine, looking at Linux from the perspective of Windows users coming new to Linux. We’ll be using the current UserOS operating system of the time as the basis for discussion. We’ll look at how to set up the operating system as well as explain how you do things in Linux that you’d recognise from Windows. For example, we’ll look at Terminal (Linux equivalent of the DOS prompt) and see what it can do.

UserOS Ultra 9.10 is available as of today on the April 2010 cover disc of Australian PC User magazine. You’ll also find tools for burning it to a bootable CD-R as well as exclusive tools for copying it to a USB flash drive.

UserOS Ultra 9.10 is only 502MB in size but is loaded with extras including PVR (personal video recorder) software as well as spreadsheet, word processing, image editing, DVD player, iPod syncing and more.
