ubuntu

Feeling rather smug with myself today after some IT Prowess.  We have an old Dell Laptop that has never worked particularly well if I’m being honest.  As we have a surfeit of working PCs I thought I would try a new operating system for the first time and went for Ubuntu, which is based on Linux.  Amazingly for me, it all went smoothly, and I now have a new fresh install Laptop with no trace of Microsoft near it.  It took a while to get the laptop to see the Wireless network, but with a bit of research, it was sorted within an hour or so.  It would seem to be a pretty good system, with a lot of software available that replaces pretty much all I might need, and it is compatible with Firefox, so all is good.  I will be trying it out with a bit of graphics work etc. Tomorrow.
