| I just wanted to share with you all my life changing experience. I always
| trusted Microsoft and Microsoft only. For the life of me, I couldn't figure
| out why people talked of Linux as though it were the best thing since the
| Tenga devices. Finally, my curiosity was peaked and I purposed in my mind to
| install a dual boot - Windows XP and Linux - the next time I reformatted my
| hard drive. That day came two days ago.
|
| XP Took some time to install, what with Microsoft Updates and what not. I
| made sure I left a small partition of about 80 GBs of space for Linux. When
| the time came to install Linux, I was amazed at how simple it was to do so.
| A few questions, a couple of administrative settings, and I was well on my
| way. The OS was installed in almost no time at all. I had little to no
| problem configuring different aspects of Linux, which was surprising
| considering it was my first time EVER working with it. Upon connection to
| the internet, I found that Linux had 104 updates waiting for download and
| install. I accepted and that too took little time to complete. And to my
| surprise, I didn't have to install the Grub interface. The version of Linux
| I had apparently had that added into the install. Everything seemed
| seamless.
|
| The version of Linux I'm using is Linux Mint 5.0 RC1. I have to say, I can
| see why people love Linux and it's deceptively simple interface. Just a few
| minutes of piddling around and I found myself considering Linux as a Primary
| OS.
|

|
| To the fellow diehard fans of XP, I can assure you, Linux will not
| disappoint. In fact, I'm writing this post in the Linux OS.
