Freedom from crashing, viruses, and costly software packages, if I could just figure out how to use it . . .
I've switched from Windows to Ubuntu to operate my netbook. A bit about ubuntu:
ubuntu |oǒ'boǒntoō|
Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning 'humanity to others'. It also means 'I am what I am because of who we all are'. The Ubuntu operating system brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the world of computers.
... and it's free!
It sounds great, but I'm still learning how to install things. As a result, I'm sorry to say I've been slow to post recent pictures. I'll get it working with my camera and Picasa soon, I hope.
love this, was just telling emily about open source, getting the android tomorrow, look forward to hearing about how its working out, how did you find out about it?
ReplyDeleteDavid Smythe, our first host and rockstar/geophysicist, set it up for me. It's working well now even though it was a bit frustrating to get programs to work because linux is totally foreign to me. I love the idea of open source though - good luck with it!
