Linux as a Desktop

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.

Legal Mumbo Jumbo
This blog is all about me expressing my thoughts and opinions you don’t have to agree hence I enabled the comments feature (keep it clean or I’ll delete them) or bounce me an email etc. Legal threats are not taken well and will result in me publishing them as well as my thoughts on the threat….grrrr

To be very clear my opinions and thoughts are NOT representative of my employer and I don’t expect to be beaten with them :-)

Oh and finally.. they are mine… so please consider then to be copyright © but all you have to do is bounce me an email and I’ll likely let you use them.
