[ubuntu-za] My switch story

[Denham Coote]

For years I've dabbled  - on and off - with various distros of Linux.  It
must've been about 9 years ago when I had my first encounter.

Since then, however, I've remained (primarily) a windows user.  Earlier this
year, I decided it was time to get reacquainted.  I downloaded 7.04 beta
and, am proud to say,  haven't looked back.  My home PC still has windows
installed, but to give some indication of just how 'switched over' I am,
consider the following: I installed both OS' at the same time.  I never
bothered to activate windows.  The other day, upon trying to boot up Vista,
I was unable to as the activation period had expired!  (I'm still able to,
but I figured, why bother?)

I find the following software quite suitable for my needs:

Anjuta IDE
BMP
Firefox
Gaim
OpenOffice
Tomboy Notes
Xine

Beryl is great, and leaves Vista looking very bland.  And it looks great in
a multi-head configuration!  I was also very pleasantly surprised at just
how easy life has become.  Best thing, for me though, is the amount of
support available.  Fantastic!

Den.
