My next step, after installing the basic Debian system, is to switch the install to Ubuntu. at 5:33 am Which Ubuntu? Then, I tried to install Ubuntu (Edgy Eft) via netboot. So I switched to the very standard ethernet PC cards that Gavin so thoughtfully included, and bingo – everything works. Edgy or a Feisty beta?

Get Ubuntu , and have done already. But if you really want to have done with stuff like this, get Ubuntu. So if you are a hardware geek, expect to pay MS every other time you get a new motherboard. And since they seem to upgrade their OS every 6 years or so … I have a suggestion. But you’d still have to buy Windows.

This migration, unlike the Mac OS -> Ubuntu migration, has been completely painless. A few tweaks (mentioned in the previous post,) and I was up and running with all posts and comments intact. Add a few important plugins, and I’m back to where I was just a few days ago on Typepad.

And, of course, there are some other situations where Linux also shines: kiosks, internet cafes, computer labs and email/web workstations. I use Ubuntu on a dual-boot (XP) machine. One minor point: have you tried Twhirl on Ubuntu? Ubuntu, Fedora, Blag, Mandriva, Gentoo, and so on. This is where Linux will shine.

I’m on week 3 of my Ubuntu laptop migration – things are smoothing out – I’ve got audio working, I can listen to mp3 and audio streams. That sounded like good advice, since it might take me quite a while to get to step 1. (If, If, perchance, you might want to read it, drop me an email.)

Walmart was selling $200 PCs running gOS (no, that doesn’t stand for googleOS, but greenOS, based on Ubuntu 7.10,) and they sold out. Linux is more secure, more stable, and can be used on older hardware. Figuring out a clear migration strategy that takes all of this into consideration. {
