I’ve recently run into some crippling Windows problems. And it was, worst of all, effecting my Internet access when I need it so desperately, like so many fellow South Africans. Moving to mac has crossed my mind, but I opted to go to a free place. A place where operations and function, roam freely. Linux.

I’m glad to report that today, I got one of my old systems up and running with Ubuntu. Being only shown the basics just one night ago by a friend and far more superior user, I must say I’m digging it. My first few hours has been an easy and relatively flat learning curve.

Finding a easy alternative to ALMOST every thing I do on Windows is merely a search away. I have gotten my internet up running on USB without a hitch and as for the typical uses Windows gives me like Photoshop for starters… Windows will just have be a close at hand.
