My Dell Mini came with Ubuntu and that had proved to be such an ease of use machine that I decided to finally go that way with my main PC. I dual-boot with Winders 7 for when I want to play World of Warcrack or use Adobe Dreamweaver/Photoshop. But 90% of the time I'm in Ubuntu doing everything else.

The first real problem started when I tried to install Ubuntu on my wife's brand new HP touchsmart TM2. It is disappointing to find that this type of computer confronts at least 5 serious bugs using Linux and all are unresolved. Anyway we are waiting for a solution in the future updates.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3879027.post-4916791060426601442011-01-26T18:33:49.172-08:002011-01-26T18:33:49.172-08:00I know I'm a bit of a computer geek.

I was fully expecting that I'd have to upgrade to the newest Windows when I next get a new computer. But instead, I think I may just move over to Ubuntu completely.Teganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12625983869465172976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3879027.post-36832560529023760422011-01-26T16:43:38.937-08:002011-01-26T16:43:38.937-08:00It's a pleasure to read such a good-news story...It's a pleasure to read such a good-news story about Ubuntu. It took me a long time to switch to Linux -- I'd try it about twice a year, giving each new version a few weeks of dual booting before I eventually decided it wasn't quite RFTD ("Ready For The Desktop"). I finally switched, for good, to Ubuntu a couple of years ago, and now all the computers in the household are running it happily. Admittedly I still need a Virtual Machine to run Windows for some programming work, but that's all. I even run Ubuntu at work now, and have had no trouble with it. But I didn't know if it was entirely RFTD for people who weren't died-in-the-wool computer geeks. I guess it is now, huh?
