The Linux movement is one I have acutely aware of, but not terribly involved with.\u00c2\u00a0 My software company is going to be running on Linux (the App server anyway), and so i see it as necessary to become an expert of sorts.\u00c2\u00a0 i decided to start with it at home.<\/p>\n
I started by installing Debian, and was more impressed with the installation than i was of Fedora 6 on our office server.\u00c2\u00a0 It was easy, fast, and fairly complete.\u00c2\u00a0 I say FAIRLY complete, because it lacked Firefox – which I would need to install.\u00c2\u00a0 I found this to be a confusing process in itself, but got through it.\u00c2\u00a0 I then decided to install Gaim (I live and die by IM), and that was FAR worse.\u00c2\u00a0 I had to consult Josh again – and finally made it work.<\/p>\n
Att his point i was pretty unimpressed with this particular distro anyway, so I decided to back up and install the most popular of all distros – Ubuntu.\u00c2\u00a0 A slightly larger initial download, but a VERY smooth install, with FireFox AND Gaim both included.<\/p>\n
I’m going to play with the install over the next few days and see how it goes.\u00c2\u00a0 Will report back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
