12. Free software gives everyone the freedom to use it however they want and share with whoever they like.

14. The Ubuntu Linux Community - When you start to use Linux, you become part of this community. One of the benefits of membership is that you’re never far from finding a solution to a problem. The community likes to congregate online around forums and newsgroups, which you can join in order to find help. - Being part of a community is not just about getting free technical support. It’s about sharing knowledge. Linux was created to be shared among those who want to use it. There are no restrictions, apart from one. - When you learn something, don’t be afraid to share this knowledge with others. “Giving something back” is an important part of the Linux community

16. Local Communities, better known as "LoCos", have been established throughout the world. Originally, each country had one LoCo Team. However, in some areas, most notably, the United States, each state or province may establish a team. A LoCo Council approves teams based upon their efforts to either aid in the development or the promotion of Ubuntu.

17. The LoCo project is here to help groups of Ubuntu fans and enthusiasts work together in regional teams to help advocate, promote, translate, develop and otherwise improve Ubuntu.

19. Free Software – Every application and software on Linux is free and open source. You don’t need to worry about licenses anymore and you can always find a better and free Linux alternative to a Windows application.

20. Ubuntu Community Help – Ubuntu has a very active support and help community where you can get answer to your questions and problems in minutes.

22. - Experience Live – Linux Ubuntu CDs come with a pre-installed OS environment which allows you to run the OS without even installing it.

23. - Disk space - Ubuntu takes at most a quarter of the disk space that Vista and Windows 7 takes.

24. - Regular releases - With Ubuntu, you have the equivalent of a service pack every six months. Between those releases, on average, you’ll get bug and security fixes every week.

26. - No Spyware - Not just spyware but none of those funny applications that keep doing things in the background.
