Hey Amos, Guy please let me know if I'm off the mark with this one.
Yes it does have all that on the disk, but you'll probably still want to have an internet connection to update drivers and what not. It comes with - Open Office (similar to MS Office Professional Ed 2003) - Firefox (similar to Internet Explorer 7) - Bunches of other useful applications and more can be downloaded. Not 100% sure about the PDF reader, but thats easily fixed with a trip to the Adobe website. Open Office does come with it's own PDF maker though. Just so you know all the extra programs that come with Ubuntu aren't actually apart of the Ubuntu project but are apart of a different project called GNU. Much love to GNU! ;) On Thu, Oct 2, 2008 at 1:31 PM, Amos Koh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi there , > > I wished to switched from windows XP to a linux OS. > After some googleing , people said ubuntu is the most popular. > > the Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition OS is just one disc. > while many others , like Fedora , has 5 to 6 discs. > > > my question is does this one single disc contain all the things i need > for the installation ? > > i need the normal stuffs like a browser , email , network connection > read MS Words , Excel , etc and PDF files. > > thanks > > > > -- > ubuntu-au mailing list > ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au > >
