One week ago my windows computer crashed and burned AGAIN!!! I went bananas and the little hair I had left is now gone for ever. But then I came to think of Linux and a friend of mine told me about this Ubuntu distro.
I went for it.
45 minutes later I had the Ubuntu system up and running for the first time. The first five minutes i sat there thinking something was wrong. Nothing was happening. I thought, is it finished?? Did I do something wrong? Did I miss something?
But no, the installation was complete and I didn't even have to install the service pack? Then the fun started. I started looking for my hardware...
Screen - check
Three drives - check
DVD - check
Soundcard - check
Graphics - check
Network - check
Keyboard - check
Mouse - check
Beer - check:-D
Is this really true? YES!!! I know it's crazy but it is actually true. Everything worked, and still do!!!
All the software I need are found on the dvd or internet, my computer seems to have doubled the power and I feel really satisfied. My day with the computer is changed totally and I never knew it could be like this.
No viruses
No spyware
No Ok, Ok, Ok, Ok........
No nag about updates
No stupid dog asking if you need help
No blue screens
No BILL GATES](*,)
And last but sure as hell not least NO anger over feeling cheated by the american bosses with their blue sutes.
Well I guess i've been lucky with my hardware and setup, but I have to say THANK YOU to all of you people out there busting you're butts to make this system work. You've done it, and you've done it well!!:mrgreen:
