I’ve reclaimed the night
Written by fredward on April 22nd, 2007I finally made the switch to Ubuntu on my desktop machine. Even though I have a legit copy of windows some of the licensing practices Microsoft is implementing w/ Office 2007 and Vista are annoying me.. severely. Also, if you ever have to reinstall your copy of XP? Yeah, you’re going to have to call Microsoft in order to activate it… on top of all the other registration and general Big Brother BS that they’re doing. I’m done.
I’m digging ubuntu so far, thanks to Automatix I have dvd burning software, all of my codecs as well as some interesting desktop effects that are on the level of Vista ultimate and OS X. It’s done everything I need it to do without work.. except for getting my workspace to clone to the tv.. that’s going to take a small amount of work that i’ve been too lazy to do. It automatically mounted all of my NTFS partitions as RW.. OpenOffice opens up all of my old documents.. With the exception of playing some games I really don’t see a reason to boot back into Windows. Let’s hope that holds true.
Oh yeah, I forgot.. I’m going to see the killers tomorrow, it should be a fun show :)
