In case you need more proof, here's a better look at the Irish Sea. There was only 1 major flaw in my plan. No internet access for updates in the middle of the sea, not even phone signal dammit

Alright, its not often that the geek in me finds its way out on this site, but I wanted to bring something absolutely awesome to light: a viable, useful, and free alternative to Windows and Mac; Linux Ubuntu.
I've spent some time with this completely free OS, and I must say that I'm thoroughly impressed. Installation is simple and the interface is intuitive yet refreshingly different. I'm running a desktop machine that dual-boots both Windows XP Pro and Ubuntu 8.04. I'm writing this on an Emachines laptop using Ubuntu 8.04.
So, what made it worth it for me to write about this OS? My reasoning: to spread the word. Ubuntu is an operating system that could completely take over the competition (with some refinement). Linux based OS' are supported by thousands of programmers all over the world who donate their time and knowledge to make a better alternative to the two monopolizers of GUI OS'.
Not only is the OS free, but every piece of software available for it is FREE. Software like the GIMP image editor and RawStudio can replace programs like Photoshop CS2/3 for many users (especially photographers). My Nikon D300 RAW files weren't even supported by Photoshop CS2, but the many free RAW editors from the Linux development community supported my D300 .NEF files without problems!
What else is awesome about Linux Ubuntu? Well, I love the very different looking GUI. Its intuitive, customizable, and very efficient. All programs are organized in separate drop-down menus, and system settings are in their own drop-down menu for easy access.
It will only be a few years until this version of Linux becomes a competitive alternative to Windows and Mac. Some computers already ship with Linux Ubuntu variants already installed, and since there is no payed license, the cost of the computer is cut nearly in half (see Asus EEE PC). Apple computers are the costliest computers on the market, mostly due to the over-hyped and overpriced MacOS. Windows computers aren't far behind, and Vista users are plagued with incompatibility and crash issues. If Linux programmers can fix the quirks (bad NTFS support, poor hardware support on newer systems, quirky behavior after major updates), Linux Ubuntu will be a viable contender to the money hungry monopolies that are Apple and Microsoft.
Give Ubuntu a try, you can download the OS here: www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download
Burn the ISO image to a CD and run it from your CD-ROM drive on boot to see if you like it. Ubuntu 8.04 already delivers almost an extra hour of battery life on my laptop, as opposed to Windows XP Home.
Try it, enjoy it, and join the open source revolution!

Novo bebe da casa. Passeando pelo Jardim São Paulo, do de cara com essa belezinha no meio da rua. É claro que levei pra casa, onde descobrimos que ele tem um gosto peculiar por tecnologia, por isso a escolha do nome, linux, ele ficar perseguindo a setinha do mouse, dorme em cima do celular e fica assistindo tv.
