Trying to help?

[Peter Lawrence]

Hello people,
             This is my very first mail sending action since I happily 
installed Ubuntu onto on of my machine's hdd's.
     I have read; maybe? A thousand or more, or less, e-mails from, and 
about the differing problems that users find whilst working on their own 
  Ubuntu distro's/operating systems.
     I actually have around two hundred applications that are an 
integral
part of my 42gb Ubuntu operating. Ubuntu is really and truly fantastic. 
She is versatile, practical, easy to use, lovely to look at, fast, 
efficient and so many other things that make Ubuntu the "king"; out of 
all of the hundreds of different distro's.
    I myself have used at least twenty of the distro's that are 
available, and have gotten myself ten disc's; each one capable of either 
being used as live cd or as fully compliant operating systems but the 
fact is. I absolutely love working on Ubuntu linux.
    I downloaded Windows 7 RC, onto a PC, last week and I quickly 
realised that 7 is simply a fancy version of XP. that is really exactly 
what all of the Windows guru's? cried so loud for and eventually got.
    I got rid of Windows & very quicly and re-imaged the machine that it 
had been installed on, with Kubuntu (which I also love to bits).
    The only problem "bug", that I have found to be of any kind of 
concern to me was an instance where I was using Evolution mail, and ran 
into a problem with Httrack website copy (which I had used on Windows 
years ago so felt confident to engage it). I messed up and created a big 
hole into my network. I then got rid of every single part of "httrack", 
and used sudo apt-get autoremove to clean any other stuff that was left 
behind. I then reassessed my systems and evolution mail would not 
send/recieve, at all. So I got rid of it, and ran Thunderbird, (which in 
all honesty I like more). So now I have a fantastic mail provider, and 
any cracks in my network have been sorted out.
    I would like to point out that in 9 months or more, this instance 
was and is the only problem that I have had with Ubuntu Linux and I am 
still totally in love with the system.
    If you guys that send all of the mail about what petty little things 
you do not like about Ubuntu, spent half of the time concentrating on 
what is SO! Darn good about the system then the Ubuntu world would be a 
much nicer place.

     Thank you all,
                  Peter Lawrence.
