Switching to Ubuntu...

This person have recently switched to Ubuntu and documented the proces. It is a nice read I think and it really shows how far the Linux desktop has come and why I think we'll see more and more people switching to a open source desktop.

I am a proficient Windows XP user and more, but after seeing what’s Vista going to be with all the issues in relation to implementing security and the way Microsoft wants to license it, I decided that it is time for me to try to find an alternative. This was happening around a month ago after I attended a Microsoft Techday dedicated to Vista. So in the past month I used exclusively Ubuntu Linux 6.10 on my laptop. Below is the journal of what happened.
