Last month, Ubuntu released the new version of its operating system, 9.10. I've been using Ubuntu for over two years on my home desktop, and have documented some of my struggles and victories with it here.
I've written occasionally about my experiences with Ubuntu Linux. Since I got accustomed to the system, everything has been overwhelmingly positive, especially when it relates to using Ubuntu for programming. Predominantly, I program in PHP and Ruby on Rails, depending on the project.
My favorite FTP client is FileZilla. In the last year or so, it became cross-platform.
Today, I decided to upgrade to Ubuntu Hardy Heron, which came out a few days ago.
Recently, to my great jealousy, my wife bought a MacBook for graduate school.
The other day, I had to buy a new monitor. The one I had been using for three years finally croaked, and so I turned to eBay to get another one.
So I've been successfully using Ubuntu for two weeks now. I have several initial reactions, and other thoughts.
So, following the previous post about my Ubuntu dual boot woes, today I have successfully set up a dual boot of XP and Ubuntu.
I had hoped to delay this post until I encountered some degree of victory, but that doesn't look like it's coming anytime soon.
