Hi,
i gave up on winX last year, it took me around 6 weeks to make the transition from win to ubuntu. I also setup a server - a dream come true. It required some coffees and some studying of forums. I never printed out documents in windows to understand how it works - in linux i did!
I tried to do the move several times in my life but often gave up because of some win applications wouldn't work in linux but now quite a few do My main reasons were that i saved on licence costs, if you run 5 pcs you add up licence fees and you get the picture. Secondly i wanted something safe, a network not open on wifi (i dont mean that closing your router is the answer). And after all, its fun. But it did require adaptation and mindset changes It's like long ago, when you bought a device, you did need to read a big manual before you get started, depending what you want to do with linux, this is sometimes required - but then your machine is in harmony with you. Anyone here also a fan of ubuntu ? Whats your story ? why do you like using it ? Or why don't use it ?...
