hello folks!
Windows crashed on me a few days ago.
Lost a lot of data from the last year, but thankfully, data from years past was on another hard drive, when my older computer's mother board died.
I decided it was time to give a Linux based system a try, so I downloaded Ubuntu. very happy so far, although there is a learning curve. I am finding adeqaute software to do what i need my machine to do. All free!
Computer is faster in operation, and firefox surfs WAY faster, on the same DSL as I have been using for a while now.
I could have partitioned the hard drive, but after I realised I would have to re install and re purchase a lot of software, i just decided to send windows to the nether world.
Any other Linux users out there?
take care,
Tom
