Jumping To Ubuntu At Work For Non-Linux Geeks

Posted by timothy on from the there's-no-ubuntu-topic dept.

About 6 months ago I finally got fed up enough with my experience on Windows XP to jump ship to Ubuntu 8.04, despite not having much Linux experience, particularly on the desktop. Read my ramblings for an engineer's take on taking what can be a pretty intimidating plunge for us Linux noobcakes."

    Just another "wishful thinking" article. I'm very glad that you enjoy (or think you enjoy) your Linux. But excuse me, news for nerds this is not.

    Now, back to enjoy my Windows, knowing that an article about is not interesting or enlightening either, Let everyone use whatever tool they want.

      Sure, but that is an OPINION, (a politically correct one in this place), but... an ARTICLE??? An article should be informative, interesting, or fun... not a biased or anecdotal opinion. That are what the comments are for.
