U(boo)ntu

So the Ubuntu thing didn't end up working out. Apparently my shitty old comp doesn't have enough RAM to run the installer, even though it meets the specs for the OS. I might try to find another Distro that can support it, but so far, XP: 1, Linux: 0.

Humanity to Others

After having a discussion about Linux in my networking class this week I've decided to take the plunge into a world that isn't Microsoft. I've heard a lot about Ubuntu recently and heard that it's really good, but the thing that made my decision was called Xubuntu, which should improve the performance of the computers it's on, which I think will help a lot on the PoS comp I'm gonna install it on. I'm pretty excited, cause I've been interested in Linux for a long time now, and actually installing it should be a neat experience. There's also the fact that it's totally free and comes loaded with free, open source software that just makes ya feel good inside. I'll update later with how it goes.
