Via Ubuntu (again).
As my former laptop sits in its box, ready to get picked up by UPS tomorrow, I send this out via Ubuntu just the same. Our hardware upgrades came today. I installed more memory, a DVD burner and a new hard drive — and got Ubuntu installed on it and ready to go. All before dinner and all while being a computer idiot.
So you see: my awesomeness transcends ordinary ignorance.
And for the record, Ubuntu runs faster on my desktop, all on a non-LCD screen (I love my CRT) and hooked up to my big stereo.
On the crappy side, I spent a beautiful afternoon inside. And cut myself three times, fairly badly. And dropped the DVD drive on my table, taking a chunk out of it — though the drive still works. And I cut my foot on the door running to meet UPS barefoot.
You win some; you lose some.
But the real winner is Ubuntu. Err, uh, yeah.
