Getting ready to make the change to Linux

Well, guys, if you never hear from me after this week you'll know my computer blew up. After hearing form Alecto and talking in depth with my hacker buddy face-to-face this past weekend, I'm ready to make the change to Linux one day this week.

I have a lot of work to do first, according to my friend. Need to clean up windows, defrag, delete unused programs, all of that before I install Ubuntu.

I'm going to make it a dual boot to either Windows or Linux. I learned how to do it this weekend, so I'm hoping for the best. I learned about disk space and partitioning, so I may not need to bug Alecto (too much!)

Both my friend and Alecto say Linux is much, much more secure than Windows.

This will be work, but I think it will be worth it in terms of not having to worry about viruses and so on. Also, Ubuntu is user-friendly and just plain fun in comparison to Windows.

We'll see! affraid

Cool, PB! Computers are fun to mess with. I cannot tell you how many times I screwed up my own machine by messing with it too much. But each time, I got it unstuck, and learned something in the process. Good luck with your transition.
