I'm finally doing something I've been meaning to for ages; testing out Ubuntu Linux through the use of a "Live CD".
Personally, I really, really like Ubuntu so far. I'm definitely setting up a separate partition for it so that I can have two OSes on my system. I see myself using Ubuntu a LOT for everyday things, like casually browsing the web and doing some web development, as well as casual C++ programming. School work is also something it will be great for.
The Live CD I was using for the first couple of days was actually the new beta for Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx". So I actually ended up testing out a future version that appears to want to introduce a few new features, which seem rather promising. Once I "downgraded" to the 9.10 Live CD, I realized what Linux is doing, and look forward to using 10.04 when it comes out in late April. But for now, I need to install 9.10. There's something about Ubuntu that makes it feel right for me. I really don't know what it is. I never thought I'd actually use it, but once it booted up for the first time and I realized what it's capable of and great for, I couldn't imagine never using it. I decided within ten minutes of checking it out that it needed to be on my hard drive as a secondary OS.
So I'mma go set it up now. I'll update y'all on how it goes, and post screenshots of it.
