Ubuntu Linux Just Plain Rocks!
One thing I’ve been meaning to talk about on here is Ubuntu Linux, which I installed on my laptop about three weeks ago. I went with Ubuntu 7.04, and after the mere 10 minutes it took to install it, I never looked back since.
I’ll never run any flavor of Windows on that laptop again … Ubuntu is *that* good. Ubuntu comes with everything you need out of the box like a solid email client; in this case Evolution. Firefox is packaged as the standard web browser, too! What more could a geek like me ask for? Well, there’s more! Ubuntu offers a lot of eye candy, if your system meets the requirements. One of my favorite visual features of Ubuntu is the “page flip” feature when switching work spaces; this feature actually “flips” the entire desktop on a cube around to another workspace, and the acceleration is silky smooth. Ubuntu’s “page flip” feature will make your geek friends drool with envy as they attempt to show off their “Windows Flip 3D” via Windows Vista. Not to mention the Ubuntu “Alt Tab” task switcher. Top that Windows Vista!
