a year allready?

As they say “time flies when you are having fun”, well, doesn’t it. Well it has not been fun at all times. But it sure as hell has been stable, and also, it has become a pilar in my digital life. Exactly a year ago I decided to make the switch. I decided to remove windows from one of my machines and hop over on the Ubuntu train.
It took some fiddling, it took some nobbing, some hair got lost, but not more then there grew. I tested out different versions, and sub-versions (there are several -buntu’s out there), but in the end I decided to stick with the real one, the true one, the great one: Ubuntu.

Especially since the last summer’s version, Dapper Drake, life has become so much easier. With Automatix installed and a huge, very friendly and helpful user community only a click a away, Ubuntu has been running like a charm for a year now. No more spyware, no worries about viruses (not that I ever caught one, even on dreaded Windows). Life is good. I installed this marvel of an operating-system on several of my machines now, my friends machine and a server or two. I really recommend it to anyone. If you aren’t convinced, try it on an old machine, just for starters. Or simply use the live CD version, which does not require you to install anything, it simply runs of a CD, no reboot required…Ubuntu can be installed on both MACs (powerMac and IntelMac) and PCs…

Three months ago, my XP’d Dell went out the window, and all now runs of my laptop. Development, Communication, Movies, TV, Games… it all happens right here on Ubuntu.

Just had to share that…
