Ubuntu - Day 13
Haven't used my computer at all today except to write this blog entry. I will answer some email later, but again, Ubuntu does that without any problems at all (except that I miss my Cloudmark spam filter). I have one more day before I return to my Windows machine and use it as my primary again. I did hook a regular mouse to this laptop and it makes it easier to run the machine than relying full time on the touch pad. Thankfully, this laptop has a button that can turn the touchpad off when I'm typing since my palms tend to rub on the touchpad and then throw me out of the box where I was typing.
Tomorrow night, I will give a longer summary of my 14 day Ubuntu report and how I feel it would work for other computer users.

Ubuntu
How about a review/dissertation of how you think Linux would work on a family or household PC? I'm an engineer and amateur computer geek, so I'm pretty confident that I could set up a computer with Ubuntu and (eventually) get it to dance & sing like I want it to & I would probably even enjoy the challenge. However, I'm curious about how user-friendly and reliable (not that Windows is either) it would be for the wife & kids. They have a range of ability and uses for our home machine. Email and internet are the biggest uses, but there is also quite a bit of music uploading/downloading, homework (documents & spreadsheets), and some occasional game playing.
