Matts move to Linux on the desktop
Category Linux as a Desktop
At this point its about a two weeks out and frankly I'm loving it... I got dual screen 1650x1050 as my display running Beryl and its just awesome to work with... I'm not normally an eye candy guy, but it really is amazing.

Well I have to admit that whilst I have been using Linux for my servers for a long long long time I've not used it as a desktop... But I've finally made the switch from Windows to Ubuntu.. Why ubuntu.. well frankly it has a huge library of software that can be installed through the package manager.. has a large active community that seems happy to help newbies like myself.
So i've taken the time to document some of the challenges and my experiences etc.. mostly for myself but hell if it helps someone else thats awesome...!At this point its about a two weeks out and frankly I'm loving it... I got dual screen 1650x1050 as my display running Beryl and its just awesome to work with... I'm not normally an eye candy guy, but it really is amazing.
