The Ubuntu Experience: Month One
,----[ Quote ]
| After seeing that seamonkey420 had taken the jump to Ubuntu, I decided to
| give it a try myself. Since I have been a Windows user forever, I made the
| commitment to utilize the OS for my day-to-day computing for at least a
| month. I figured that I would need at least that long to stop performing
| mental comparisons between Ubuntu and Windows. Now that a month has passed,
| I find myself actually enjoying the operating system.
