Linux - was it a challenge?
Well folks,
I'm scribbling this from a very newly setup Linux box, following the excellent advice from bods on here.
It took all of 15 minutes to get Ubuntu up and running, with no manual intervention of any kind. Much quicker and simpler than XP, with all hardware, network connections, external hard drives, even the broadband connection, all being found and set up automatically.
So far I'm mightily impressed, as it's all worked right out of the box.
I now need to go and play with Open Office and some of the other apps to see how it all works, but things look pretty intuitive to me.
As some will have gathered from questions asked on here, I'm no computer geek. If I can get Linux up and running this easily then anyone can.
