The Wonder that is Linux

Okay first post… Back when I used Windows I considered myself a power user. I knew my way around the OS like the back of my hand, and I had everything streamlined to suit me.

Then I made the switch to Linux. Why would anyone do this, you ask? Check www.linux.org for a few hundred reasons. I made the switch after attending a Cisco IT Essentials One course, where I was introduced to Linux. Before this, I had contemplated making the switch but I didn’t want to go through the bother of learning a new OS.

After the course, though, I saw the light, and looking back now, I can’t say I’ve never looked back. I still dual-boot, because I couldn’t bear to leave my games behind. Otherwise, Linux does everything Windows ever did for me and much, much more…

I run ubuntu Hardy, 8.04, and although I still feel like a complete n00b, I feel more at home using GNOME than Windows’ clunky interface.
