And ditto on the "Welcome to MobileRead!" You shouldn't have any trouble finding your answers here from those more techie than me! I don't know why but Ubuntu sounds like a tribe in Africa.

Ubuntu is indeed an African (more specifically Bantu) word described
here. The Ubuntu operating system is a distribution of Linux. Remember there is no Microsoft or equivalent behind Linux. Anyone can package it up into an easy to install distribution which includes some mix of utilities like email etc. Ubuntu is one of those and it seems to be doing well. It sure is easy to install and arguably simpler to use than Windows XP (I haven't used anything more recent). When I changed over I timed my machine. It ran 7x faster.
