What’s the difference between 12.04.1 and 12.10?
I am extremely new to Ubuntu and was shown by a friend. I am tired of paying for programs, that I have to fight with to get the results I want. I am also sick of paying for them. I really like the Ubuntu mind set. I am going to school for computer programming, but do not know a whole lot as of yet. I'm just looking for pointers, software to download to help teach me programming, and lastly which Ubuntu to go with as a beginner?
Thank you ahead of time for your help.
