HI SYN!

So, it’s been around 8 years since I’ve actually used an OS other than Windows for anything more than a server. Yet here I am, typing this on a freshly installed Ubuntu 7.04 system. I’ve been sitting here playing with it off and on all Sunday afternoon and have come to the conclusion that I need to give Linux another try as a desktop/workstation OS that just works. I really hope this works out, I truely do.

Most times during the work day, I despise having to use Windows for most of my work tasks since I’m 99% of the time working on a UNIX box remotely. Wether it’s a company box in Dallas, Frankfurt or China I’ve been using putty to remote in to do all work on the servers. Not that using a terminal SSH session will be a different feel from putty, but the environment around that session definitely will.

So here we go, a week of nothing but Ubuntu for all things work related, starting Tuesday technically but I have a feeling I will be extending this experiment to any time I touch a computer, outside of video games.
