Since 1998
Well it's time for my career to take a new direction. I just put my two weeks in today which means it's time to turn in my old laptop back to my employer. It was a Dell Inspiron which served me well for the past 3 years.
Being that it's getting turned back in, I decided to do a bit of experimenting on it. Last week I installed Ubuntu 8.04 and I have really been enjoying it. Probably because it's something new, but to me it just seems to run better than my Windows XP edition. it just seems to utilize the memory better and run alot smoother than my XP ever did. Which got me thinking......Maybe it's time to make the switch. And that's when I found this
It seems like it might be what im looking for. So I figured I would get you guys opinions on Ubuntu. For those of you who like to screw around with Linux based systems, what are the pros and cons? The only con I've come up with are hardware compatibilities which should be (and I stress should) be taken care of since the laptop is being built as a Ubuntu machine.
Cheers
