Ubuntu

[clemm]

I love Ubuntu and run it when I can. I run it off a second hard drive and have to make physical as well as bios changes to get it to run.
I run windows because my wife has an online job that runs on windows, and my job frequantly requires homework on windows.
Tommorow is my birthday. I just recieved an email from Ubuntu, wishing me a happy birthday.
Thats just an automated program running on a date. I will be 45, the birthday thing has kind of lost its zest.
I would very much like to thank Ubuntu, and all that is involved, for this email. It definanitly picked up my spirits. You wont get that from Microsoft.
You wont get that from Microsoft, not because they couldnt. It is over the counter software. Been around in some form since at least the 80s if not the 70s. You wont get that from Microsoft, because they dont care about there customers.
Now I get an email, from a bunch of people I dont really even know. They give you the OS, and then bend over backwards to help you make it work, and learn how to use it.
All I can say is thank you. You people are building a better planet. I am forced to run windows, but I love Ubuntu.
Thanks again!

P.S.: I shifted your thread to Testimonials and Experiences.

Welcome to Linux: Im the same I use Ubuntu whenever possible. Not only does MS not care about its customer, it doesn't care about the customers needs who use their OS. If they did care they would of tried to make Windows secure. People have been complaining about security ever since the Internet became mainstream.
In my opinion Windows can never be secure without completely re-writing it from the ground up.......which would mean most Windows software would also have to be rewritten.
That will not happen until Windows sales hit bottom, and people refuse to use it because there computer has been compromised so many times they are fed up.

First, Happy birthday, Clemm! Many happy returns!

I dual boot with XP on one HDD, and Gutsy on another. Any way you can configure your system to do the same? My main drive is SATA, and I installed Ubuntu on an EIDE drive plugged into the ribbon cable the DVD drive is on.

This community IS absolutely the best!:)
