Maybe a self-indulgent post, but I just wanted to mark the fact that I've now been using Ubuntu for one full year.
Before that, in the past ten years or so, I tried Linux many times. My longest previous Linux experience lasted about a month, max, before I got fed up with stuff not working and went back to Windows.
Now I have Ubuntu on 4 machines, and love it. I retain 1 XP machine because of a couple of Windows programs I need that don't work properly under WINE (does anything?)
But 95% of my computing is on Ubuntu, and maybe another 1% on Puppy Linux which I keep on a bootable keyring-drive.
My relationship to Windows is like that of a schoolboy to a girlie magazine under his bed. I may... uh, USE it from time to time, but I'm certainly not proud of it! Ubuntu is the operating system you would take home to meet your Mother!
Anyway, here goes year 2 of my GNU/Linux experience. Still LOTS to learn, but still havin' fun!
Happy UBirthday to me!
