The Bottlenose Dolphin Research Institute BDRI is a marine science and
education centre committed to conserving the diversity and integrity of marine
life to meet the needs of current and future generations. The BDRI has
installed Xubuntu operating system in their laboratory computers. We decided to
use Xubuntu as it is easier to maintain and in our experience offers better
access to support. We use it for running office applications, graphics,
educational and research software. Another reason for choosing Ubuntu is the
software's easy installation and packaging system, a light way to migrate
graduatelly from Windows to Linux.
For our purposes Xubuntu works pretty well. We are guessing Xubuntu is mostly
used as a lightweight Office desktop, runs faster than windows and never goes
crazy!!!. Adittionally if we need any windows application to carry out analyses
we use Wine as virtual desktop!
Thanks for Xubuntu,
