Going Ubuntu

I've been using ever since the beginning. and MS-DOS since 3.0 days. for the most part I enjoyed and got value from each of the operating systems. Each new version of software would slow the newest of hardware to make any speed advantage null and void. I was pretty happy though with the last operating system I bought for myself. was Windows 2000 Pro. It was the best of win 98 with the speed and interoperativity of NT4. When XP came out with the phone home features when one changed a hard drive or a Motherboard. I knew that I would never upgrade further. Vista is only about protecting the vested interest of Hollywood and the music industry.

My computer is aging and I no longer have faith that it will boot every time. Its earned a respectable retirement.

I've been curious about Linux my friends have been suggesting Ubantu, I think I can be happy with it. I am already using OpenOffice.org and Mozilla exclusively. I ordered the parts to build a new computer Monday and they should be in today. Time will tell. I will report here on how I've made out and at what level of satisfaction I've found with my choices.
