replacing windows with Ubuntu

[Douglas Pollard]

I still have xp on a drive and have had it for a lot of years and have 
not used it at all in about five years. I kept it because it had Adobi 
Premier on it.  Video making in Linux is now good enough and has been 
for a long time so I have no need of Premier any more. I will buy a new 
Linux computer in the near future and there will be no Windows on it. I 
am am a ham radio operator using it for communication on my sailboat and 
am running the radio from Linux, doing all the things a sailor may needs 
at sea including Navigation, weather fax and Gps on Noaa Navigation 
charts. Wonderful stuff this.
