Nik also linked to my blog about Ubuntu as I've just installed it on my lap top. I have no clue at all what I am doing, so you're well ahead of me. I'm not going to be doing too much with it until I've got further with my assignment but perhaps at that stage we can have a chat about it. I come from the position of knowing nothing. Hope you're feeling much better now, and will see you in facebook real soon. Take care xx Hi Vics, I’ve just come across this post via the new blog by Nik, and want to add my virtual hugs for you.

Vicky , of RoseVibe fame has braved ahead and installed it for herself and the biggest problem we have had is getting her into a good local support community who dont expect her to open a terminal. Then theres Paul Shepard who we can class as a amateur techie who finds that the support community surrounding OSS is far superior to anything he has experienced before. Finally there is Jo Parker and Suzy Miller of Certain Shops who actually received a preinstalled Ubuntu environment and are running a business with it and in the three weeks since they started they have not come crashing to a halt because of the software. Thats three stories I can point to all non techie, non bearded hippies and they would mistake Open Source for ketchup.

(besides, i'm just WAY too lazy to do another uninstall/ reinstall at present) K - that remark brought the first smile to my face in days *grin* I think Stef'd be running there with arms wide open - lets face it, you have access to a POOL! But I'll only be impressed at my linux adventure when I have it running to the point I can use it for everything, just like windows. Jay and Pat, it was just a bad day, I have 'em, everybody has 'em, I'm just glad I can vent on here and you guys still show up with virtual hugs *kiss* I appreciate it, truly!
