Ubuntu 9



Well reading Mirsh's post lately has gotten me interested in Linux again. Pike started the interest and I've been holding off for some time. So I downloaded the latest version of Ubuntu and created an image on a cd. I went in and changed the bios settings to boot from cd, and I'm compressed.

It automatically detected my usb keyboard and mouse, so no issues with that. Even though it is only booted from the cd, I can see a difference in browsing the internet. I am very tempted to log out back up all my important stuff and move to full ubuntu.

I can't believe I'm this excited over an OS.

This is my first blog from a Linux OS.

My only reservation is the drivers for my ATI card. Although everything is working here I'd hate to have issues with it once I had loaded WoW.

Just googled everything. My Sapphire HD 4870 seems to have good support from the open source community.
