Linux for Human Beings

I can’t say enough good things about Ubuntu Linux. This is my third distro to try, and Ubuntu is by far the simplest, cleanest, and quickest to install and configure. And I really like saying “Ubuntu.” Ubuntu!

(ubuntulinux.org): “Ubuntu” is an ancient African word, meaning “humanity to others”. Ubuntu also means “I am what I am because of who we all are”. The Ubuntu Linux distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world.

PIII-Linux box update: Configuration is very stable now after getting the whole wireless USB adapter bit sorted. I installed an additional (old) HD to use as a swap partition/generic storage device. This definitely speeded things up (I do the same thing at work with my Mac; a separate VM device really helps). I’m confident enough now with Linux to make it a permanent part of JackNet.

    Thanks for sharing the great word “Ubuntu.” The definition is spiritual and appreciated by this loooooong-time crossword puzzle addict who as a Christian should spend more time with the Bible than the puzzles. I will “Haunt” anyone who puts in my obituary “She enjoyed working crossword puzzles.” Too demeaning.
