Moving Towards Linux

Thursday, May 4th, 2006

I’ve been playing around with a few LiveCD distros of Linux, including Slackware and Ubuntu. I defnitely like the interfaces of each, but I think for the time being, I am leaning towards Ubuntu.

Here is a screenshot of this site in Firefox running Ubuntu Linux OS.

Ubuntu is the best! I have it dual booting with windows on my laptop. Customize the heck out of Ubuntu, its fun!

Definitely.

I like the feel of Ubuntu. Of course there are limits when testing it out on the LiveCD, but I think a dual-boot going to be what is in store.

Especially as a web developer, I need to be checkinig Windows and Linux browsers, and if I can do that in one computer, and then go to my Apple and test there, it takes the step out of finding a Linux PC.

What made you choose Ubuntu over any other Linux OS?
