Greetings
I've been thinking to start a thread about this since before, so here it is. I've been using ubuntu on my laptop since I bought it, and feel comfortable enough now that my vista partition just living in it dormantly. If I need a software, I always manage to get it from the repo, it's just a matter of choosing which one to use. Most of the open source games also can be search directly in it and get installed in a minute.
To get this started, do you use other than windows in your desktop/laptop? ( if I'm not mistaken, Mac is considered as a unix based system too right? ) What's your opinions on it? How do you get around the major windows software/application dependency eg: MSOffice, acrobat reader, flash bla bla bla ?
Oh, I'm not a guru, but I can use google efficiently so if you have a question, I'll try to answer it
Btw, this is my desktop, just for your amusement
