 has walked down my path |
Tuesday, September 12, 2006 it's been quite a while since i last posted here. i've been too busy i guess: it's either i'm too busy cramming my requirements, or i'm to busy wasting my time on nonsense stuff.
i have just reformatted our desktop here at home, and my system is now on dual boot. one partition is for windows xp, and another is for ubuntu. for the sake of the others, ubuntu is a distribution of the linux OS. my cousin drew was the first person to mention Ubuntu to me. it was at the peak of the "raids" here in LB, they were scouring los banos for shops using pirated software. after that raid, it was the first time that i saw computer shops on linux rather than windows. drew said that ubuntu was a very good OS, but i was too lazy to try it out. and of course, i was skeptical about linux. "i think windows is still better", i thought to myself, without even trying linux. but i didn't think back then that eventually, i was going to believe otherwise. i actually intended to install linux just for the sake of trying it out. and also to do some things that we usually do in our comsci labs (we usually use Mandrake Linux in our labs). i intended my linux to sit in my computer just in case i need to use it. nothing more. but each time i use the computer, i find myself booting in Ubuntu. and each time I use the OS, i'm starting to like it more and more. for the 2 days that i got Ubuntu up and running, i've totally lost my liking for windows. i still use windows every now and then, but i like ubuntu better. i use windows to play games, that's the major drawback in linux. the games you can play are limited, and usually they don't perform as well as when they're running in windows. Ubuntu (or Linux for that matter) is very customizable, and i really enjoy using it. i think i'll be using Ubuntu almost everytime. screw bill gates, screw windows... let's all shift to Linux! macky
