Linuxeriffic

last week i had finally had enough with windows vista and i wiped my c drive partition with all that was vista and the broken remnants of xp. i then booted up ubuntu and am so happy that i did. i have always been an apple man, but for my school laptop i really couldn't afford all that money just for a box to word process, surf the next and maybe play a few games. windows osx is a unix based operating system, and ubuntu is a linux os, which is based in unix, so having something that echoed mac osx on my laptop designed for windows is amazing. i guess i picked ubuntu because it probably the most recognized of the linux distributions, its very well put together and its completely and totally free. i think there are only a few that have a fee attached to them, like red hat and i think debian as well. the cost covers all the user support and the quality of the os but ubuntu has the same, if not better, support and the quality is superb, i haven't come across anything i don't think is excellent yet. needless to say from now on, any none apple box is getting some form of linux on it. another really amazing thing about the ubuntu community is that there are so many version of the os; ubuntu, kubuntu, secunbuntu, gobuntu, edunbuntu and so on and so forth. they even have religious unbuntus such as ubuntu CE(christian edition) and ME (muslim) edition. also, on the opposite end of the spectrum there is ubuntu SE (satanic edition), no jokes. the latest version of unbuntu is called hardy heron, which is 8.4. the latest version of SE is called headless hoarsman 8.4. Honestly, i think its quite hilarious. when version 6.4 was out about a year ago it was know as version 666.4 on the SE, how cute =) The distribution that interests me the most though is ubuntustudio. this os comes with a full suit of open source audio, video and graphic editing and manipulating software. from reading some forums, the audio editing suit is comparable to pro tools... i don't know if i necessarily believe that, but if its even close, that is completely amazing, considering its all one hundred percent free. so i'm a linux man now, if anyone isn't really familiar with linux i suggest downloading the ubuntu ISO and making a boot disk. you can use the OS right from the cd, so you don't have to load anything, and if you don't like it, just take the cd out and sacrifice it in a fire to ubuntu satan! cheers!

this is the cute lil logo for ubuntu satanic edition =P
