I’ve made the big jump! I am now using Ubuntu to do all of my computer related tasks. How does this affect the output of my work? It doesn’t! At least, not as a hindrance. If anything, using Ubuntu will now speed things up for me. That is, once I get familiar with using a Linux OS. And I like Ubuntu more every day I use it.

But for now, I am still learning and getting comfortable using Ubuntu. I like the layout and the way things are done. It has a nice crisp design and I can do anything (and more, perhaps?) that MS can do. However, because it isn’t MS, there are some drawbacks. For example, Adobe Shockwave Player doesn’t support Ubuntu. But Ubuntu does have an application that can run MS based programs that do use Adobe Shockwave. That’s the beauty of it. Oh, I forgot to mention that whereas MS can cost $200 and up, Ubuntu (and virtually every Linux OS carries a price tag of $0, aka FREE! So definitely worth checking out.
