Ubuntu: I am loving it!

After knowing Mayank for the past few months and reading Ganesh’s blog posts for an equally long period, I decided to give open source a try. After dabbling in gimp, Open Office and a few other software, I decided to give linux a go.

And thanks to Mayank who suggested me Ubuntu, I am now writing this blog post through Ubuntu. Luckily for me, Mayank decided to lay all our differences aside and decided to help me out after all!
So, after a spew of long distance calls to Gurgaon (Gee! All the BPO training was of some use to Mayank after all!) I installed Ubunt finally.

And the verdict - I am loving it!

1) It gives me a geek feel! (As Mayank always says!)

2) Its free!

3) There’s no guilty feeling of using pirated software.

4) Fresh feel after years of working in Microsoft Windows.

5) The graphics are not great, but as good as Windows XP.

6) Light on the system performance.

7) I have not tried Wine yet. (No No! Not the beverage!) But it sounds promising.
