Goodbye Windows

Enough is enough.  After years of putting up with Windows and being scared to death about losing my XPP CD and having to purchase Veesta, I decided to install Ubuntu 8.04 on my Dell Lappy.  It’s been relatively smooth sailing so far.  Some minor tweaks were needed to get it to hibernate correctly, and my internal mic took a while to figure out.  However, I’m completely happy with it.  When I can afford it, I’ll end up getting a MacBookPro, but this is a very acceptable solution for the time being. 

I intalled VMWare Server to be able to run XPP, but I see no need to….so: rm -rf windows

Some Screenshots below the fold.

Thanks to Ben for some assistance in getting everything tweaked! grin
