As I’ve mentioned before, that I’ve shifted to Ubuntu (not completely though, did a dual boot with Windows) and that I’m trying to ensure that I can live my life with an Open-Source based operating system.

So, I thought that there may be others who may be thinking that it can be a difficult task to live the life, while using Ubuntu.

However, I found it pretty simple to use and here are some of the good resources where you’ll be able to find some good support related to Ubuntu :

1. Ubuntu Clips

This is a great resource as it tells you all the things through the help of screen casts.
