Ubuntu Fun
Some of our more astute readers will know that I have recently been fiddling with some Linux distributions. After by brother-in-law made the switch to Ubuntu, I decided to try the switch from Fedora as well.
Now, I’ve played with Linux before, but I would still consider myself a relative newcomer. That being said. I’ve found Ubuntu to be refreshing. It is much easier for someone of my skill to use and configure. In that subject, I’ve decided to create a page to keep up with my Ubuntu adventures in an attempt to share my knowledge with those that might find themselves in similar binds that I have. You can access my Ubuntu page here or always from the sidebar on the left.
Playing with Linux really brings out what you really know about computers as opposed to what you think you know about computers (you really know Windows, not computers in general.) It also brings you to appreciate the complexity of computers and, at least for me, brings me to appreciate OSs like Windows and MacOS for how seamless and relatively easy to use they are.
So as of now, I’ve installed Ubuntu on my Tablet PC and have installed a couple of linux-tablet programs like GOK and Gournal. I hope to use it next semester in class in lieu of XP Tablet PC edition and Microsoft OneNote. As always, I’ll keep you posted.
