Well, the more I use Ubuntu, the more impressed I am. The initial installation on my Dell laptop was completely painless, and it has been pretty smooth sailing since then. Open Office is dealing with all but the most hectic Micro$oft Office 2007 files (and earlier versions of M$ Office files are no problem at all). There are still a few last wrinkles to get out, but there are good online guides to doing so.
Perhaps the most impressive part has been getting VirtualBox up and running to deal with a few applications (mainly geocaching related!) that must run under Windows XP. While a little mind-blowing to have XP running in a window under Linux as though it is running on an independent computer, it works like a dream.
Why didn't I do this ages ago?!
