I’ve been wanting to try out Linux for a long time now. I’m not sure why, just something new to learn I guess. Anyway, we have a laptop at home which is very old and runs very slowly, so I erased windows off the machine and replaced it with xubuntu. So far so good, I’m impressed. It looks good, operates quickly and does everything I need it to do. I can connect to the web wirelessly, use firefox, open zip files, excel files, word files, image files and videos. And lastly, the computer’s 10 gig hard drive now has 7GB free rather than 0GB before.
