I am really starting to like Ubuntu now that I'm a little more used to it and a little more careful about what I do in the terminal (I messed up my first install by being careless and not paying attention to what I'm doing or learning the commands). I just want to thank you guys for the encouragement and support in installation and wireless setup as well as any other things you've helped me with and will help me with in the future. I always complain about Microsoft and how much I hate them and it feels good to be completely free of their software (at least on my personal hardware). Thanks a lot guys. You're awesome. Open source is awesome. Linux is awesome. Ubuntu is awesome.

I feel all warm and fuzzy now.
If we really want to get his dark astral goatness all excited we'll have to talk him into installing XGL/compiz

I've got it on my Thinkpad z60m and it makes a huge splash wherever I go! I just had to turn off all the wobbly crap.

True, but at least with Linux, I'm not directly contributing $$$ to a corporation that just continues to give me and the developer community the finger.

We don't need an operating system flamewar, again

Last night I set up php, mysql, apache2 and I got a virtual host set up (and actually understand it! I was having a hard time with this before), I got Eclipse set up with phpeclipse and it's running better on this than it does on Windows. I got my wireless working. I got an svn client working and checked out a few repositories and played with svn a little. I'm finally getting used to the console and working with a command-line. I can't express how stoked I am about this distro and linux in general. Awesome!

actually, I hope the problems never do stop. It's what I like doing (problem solving.)
Just like a classic (or otherwise) car enthusiast who buys heaps, restores them, then sells them as soon as they are fixed.
