in Linux!  This time, trying out a different flavor: Ubuntu.  Dig it, mon.  It’s gotten even easier to install, configure and use.  And it is blazingly fast.  It’s important to me to keep my skills sharp.  I was a little iffy about setting up a dual-boot situation on my new machine, but everything went without a hitch, thanks in part to Vista’s Shrink Volume command.  But the biggest deal for me is just how fast this is.  I am running a 64-bit Ubuntu on a 64-bit quad-core processor with 8G of RAM and it leaves me wanting nothing more.

Don’t get me wrong.  I love (yes you heard that right) Vista 64.  It is a real improvement over previous M$ OSs and it is quite fast in its own right.  They have different purposes.  But I’ll tell ya.  I will be using Vista for games, watching blu-ray dvds (haven’t found a blu-ray player for linux yet) and crazyskills development and using Ubuntu for everything else.

It feels good to be back.
