!$#@%^ Linux

May 31, 2009 · by Paul Eggerling-Boeck

I’ve been working lately on setting up Ubuntu linux on my home and work computers with mixed success. On one hand, I love how much faster many things are than XP/Vista. On the other hand, I’ve struggled mightily in a couple different areas to do things that XP/Vista do pretty well out of the box. I know, I know, you get what you pay for in many cases. I was really looking forward to getting going in Linux and sticking it to ‘the man’ by dumping Windows altogether, but I’ve found a great degree of truth in what a wise friend once said. After his own initial foray into Linux he posited that “Linux is free … If your time is worthless.” I was hoping, given all I’ve read about Ubuntu, that I would be able to prove him wrong with that distro, but alas, he was right. Crap.
