I have now made a switch - I am a full time Ubuntu user and I love every minute of it. Ubuntu is one of the best Linux releases in my opinion, although I’ve only tried 3-4 other Linux distros.

Since we now have a special category on MUO for desktop enhancements, I wondered what’s with all the poor folks that don’t really have their own desktop? That’s those of you who share a computer with the family or use different computers at home, at work and when you’re on the road, or those who can only surf in the library? Don’t despair, Make Use Of has got something for everyone!The answer is to just get your very own online desktop. Have a little space on the web you can call home and all you’ll ever need for that is a web browser and the internet.
