Jumping the Ubuntu bandwagon

11Jun07

I’m been thinking about changing from Windows to Linux for a long time, but never really got myself to do it. I have used linux ‘in previous life’ quite a lot, but always came back to Windows, mostly because of games. But last saturday night I made the decision, I downloaded and burned the latest Ubuntu and went ahead with the installation. But somewhere along the install my old DVD drive just stopped working, so there I was in the middle of saturday night without any kind of operating system, nor had any possibility to install one to get back with IRC addiction.

First thing in the sunday morning I went and got myself a brand new DVD drive, cost me 30euros so didn’t even bother to see if the old one was salvageable. Armed with new drive the Ubuntu install went through with no problems.

I dont see myself going back to Windows anytime soon.
