Interesting that you have commented on this post today. Tried to
install Kubuntu on my laptop today- did not care about it and now the
only way to get rid of it is to reinstall the Ubuntu from scratch.

Good job.

I ditched Windows for SuSE linux... haven't looked back, way more satisfied, and the amount of software widely available is more than I expected.

I did not really like the movie maker, but I was holding to it because I could not find better counterpart in Linux. KinoDV is a great piece of software but it can take time before you can figure out how to do certain things with it.

After an unhappy marriage of around 10 years, I left Windows a year ago.

I'm using OpenSuse Linux 10.3, best thing I ever did. I can do *everything* on Linux that I did on Windows.

I cannot believe that a company like Microsoft is allowed to peddle sub standard software like Vista to the world wide public.

Good to hear. I've been trying to come up with a linux alternative to Adobe Premiere and then I can finally ditch the windows partition on my families computer.

By the way, if you want to fix grub just boot a live cd, mount your root partition and go in a command line and execute

sudo grub-install --root-directory=(mount point of root partition) /dev/(harddrive to install grub to)

Then just make sure the boot flag is turned on on your root partition (you can do this easily with parted or gparted).

It's not Fire Fox, it's Firefox, and it's not an OS, it's a browser.

Nor do I doubt you got taken for a ride buying Arizona beach front property.

boohoohoo...

I get so sick of this ranting about microsoft sucks. I tried Ubuntu several times on my laptops and really gave it a fair shake. It consumed just as many resources, the common wifi driver concerns and the supposed support programs just are not as good as all the windows based freebies out there.

so unimpressed by the world changing ubuntu and XP still rocks. If you got a version you like running well forget the updates and you won't have to whine so much...

I feel your pain. I've quit using windows and have zero regret. Ubuntu is a great OS, Free, and capable of everything I personally need it for. So more power to you :)

I have been using various linux distros for a few years. I finally settled on ubuntu when the 6.06 LTS came out. But I made a full migration after I had a read through the EULA that came with vista, as well as reading about MS plans for a modular OS I decided I did not like the way MS was going with their OS, and it was best to make the switch now.

I am now on 7.10 and have not looked back.

Ubuntu.. I don't know when I can try it. There need a lot of times to understand new program.
