Just installed Ubuntu Linux




I have been wanting and trying to get a Linux OS, and Finally I ran into a Linux Distro called "Ubuntu" and this is the first Company and Operating System where they sent me a CD by the mail. So bascially a couple of weeks later I got my copy! WOW!!! Then what I did was I looked at the cd and figured out what to do. Should I install this Linux Distro and give it a shot or should I have the cds sit in my desk and not put it to use. The reason why I wanted to use Linux so bad because I heard so many great things about Linux and how great it was to work with. Also with the open source part of it as well. Also how much it has been growing up and working so well.

So I deceided after a week later of thinking and reading site after site. So I made the choice and decided to put in a Windows Machine that runs Windows XP. Now I was not scared for one reason I dont mind reinstalling the operating system of Windows. YES!!! I know it is time consuming but I dont mind. But besides that all I have to say is the install of Ubuntu Linux went well, and my Windows XP was still there so there no effect at all. So I was surprise and happy about that.

Well after the Linux install, I said what is next because I was in shock that I have not ran into any problems with the Distro so far. Until I could not get my Wireless Internet working so I decided to just plug it in my router and BAM!!! It was online in a heart beat. So that was out of the way.

In conclusion so far Linux has been great!! Just hoping that my job will come out with a version of Linux or if I could get it working on Linux being that I have read on Forums and sites that you could run Windows Applications on Linux with no problems with the right commands and tools. So I have to really look into that. So I will keep you up to date with my Ubuntu Linux experience. Being that this is my first time using Linux and I have to say I'm pretty addicted to it. I guess the reason is because it is something new and it looks nice. Runs Great as well.

If anyone that reads this post, if you are interested in running Linux do some homework and see if Linux will be right for you. As I said before I just started so I have not ran into any major problems yet. I have a feeling eventually I will when I start expanding out my Applications I want use and start making my way through the OS.

Talk to you all later and I will keep up to date!
