Why Linux?

I've been pretty fed up with Windoze. The reliability, though it has gotten better, is still not what I would call "good"! Plus Linux is something new to learn to keep my aging mind from going entirely fallow. I am considering switching to a Mac (maybe, eventually) and that is Linux based...

I want to see for myself if the Linux Hype is true...

Why this Blog?

This Blog is meant to journal my first excursion into the world of Linux (Ubunto 9.04). It will serve as a storehouse of problems I run into, solutions and my opinions and hopefully help other linux newcomers to overcome some of the hurdles with which I have had to deal. I will give a fuller Bio in a subsequent entry[edit: or in the profile, I guess you could say I'm a newbe at blogging, too!]. But suffice it to say, I am reasonably competent with computers, but am a novice at Linux.

I hope this Blog is useful to someone (besides just me)!
