9. Why & What is Free Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. More precisely, it refers to four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software: The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0). The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this. The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2). The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

11. In Closing It is my recommendation that the Senior Center utilize this powerful yet simple operating system. Nothing is set in stone, Linux will not be going away by any means I personally use Ubuntu in my home computer and am truly impressed within only two months of incorporating it into my life. I maintain a website and utilize all the peripherals that I did within the XP operating system. In short I didn't have to sacrifice anything to make the switch. Although I deeply respect the wishes of the center in any choice they may make, I wish us well and it is a pleasure to be a part of the worthwhile program for our Seniors sincerely Laurence F.
