For example, the OS X terminal is almost as powerful as the Linux terminal, but you'll need to use far more of that power in Linux. |
| − | Ubuntu comes with a useful selection of applications by default, such as an office suite, web browser, multimedia applications and games. Both Mac OS X and Ubuntu use software packages to install software. Ubuntu uses a package management program to download and install programs, as opposed to downloading disk images in Mac OS X.
