As some of you know, I’ve upgraded my home pc to Ubuntu 8.10. It’s doing what it should do, and probably better than it did with Windows Vista. Now I’ve also upgraded my company laptop from Windows XP to Ubuntu. My laptop crashed for the second time in 3 months, some weird registry corruption… I was really sick of it, so I wiped it completely, installed Ubuntu and a whole bunch of cool apps.
At VMware we’ve got a company virtual machine which holds all the company apps one would need so I installed VMware workstation. Added a second disk to the VM for my documents, which also makes it easy to backup my documents every once in a while!
Thanks Ubuntu, and if you’ve never looked into Ubuntu, download the live CD and just try it out. It’s free, and easy to setup… it’s a live CD so you don’t need to wipe your system to actually try it!
