Just remebered why I moved from Vista having used it today. It's so slow even with 2gb RAM.

Ubuntu just flies!!

Anyway ... it's great that there's choice out there.
Windows for those that want it, Linux in various guises for those that don't.

I started using Linux basically from the saying

"Necessity is the Mother of Invention"

I was basically put in a situation of "Adapt or Die"

I could not see the sense in running a Operating system that cost more than my gear. Plus. I realized that anyone who knew programming or the inner workings of operating systems used a GNU/Linux operating system.

It takes a adventurous spirit, a thick skinned soul, with a never say die attitude. To go from uneducated point and click Windows User. To a command line tweeker who feels comfortable running GNU/Linux. In my travels through the Linux world. I have found that college educated system forensic Windows computer students are more lost using a Linux computer than a self taught GED senior citizen who has to talk baby programming steps to these so called educated college students. I guess commmon sense and good work ethics beat the hell out of a college education (from what I have seen. Just my Opinion though).

I think Broni is one of the few people on the net who knows me real well. He saw my evolution over time.

Yes, I've crashed my Ubuntu versions a few times through being over confident!! But it only takes 30 mins to be back up & running with an install and Remastersys has bailed me out. I'm old fashioned and like a CD/DVD backup to hold in my paw!

Thanks for that link. I think I'll give it a try sooner rather than later. And just in case I'll do a Remastersys as well the first time as a fail-safe 'cos you can't have too many backups!!
