The best thing and the worst thing about moving to a brand new operating system is all of
the new applications that are immediately available to you. With Ubuntu, an open-source
GNU/Linux based operating system, this is compounded even more by the astounding number of
options along with the close-to automated package management system and strong community
support.

Therefore, it’s helpful to have a basic guide to guide new and returning users through the varied software options by highlighted specific popular packages and providing installation directions, along with information about where users can look for more options and support. By showing the new Ubuntu user the best of the software repository from the start, we can ensure retention and thereby further undercut the market share of the 8,000 pound gorillas in the OS market.
