Hi all, been lurking here for about a week, learning, breaking, and fixing my new Ubuntu install. Coming here reminded and taught me alot.
On xmas I decided to get rid of vista. So I sat there trying to decide what flavor of linux to install. I usually use mepis with kde. I tried, i dont remember what version of Ubuntu, a year or so ago, and didnt care for it. It might have been gnome that turned me off. So I thought i would give it another chance. All I can say is wow! Everything works really well on my dell E1705. Bluetooth is ok, have not really played with it too much. Im even enjoying Gnome:D I have been a linux user on and off for about 4 years, and I can honestly say I have not have a better time with it since installing Ubuntu.
I was worried at first about switching because I use some nokia programs( syncing along with others) but the more I thought about it, only one I really need, if they release a firmware update for N95-3, I can install on my Dads pc to run. Now my girlfriend has my live cd to see if she can work with Ubuntu, if she can ill convert her over too:P
I just wanted to say hi and thanks for all the things i learned so far from this site. Hopefully one day I will be able to return the favor and help someone.
