Thanks to the wonders of Microsoft, I had a catastrophic system failure this weekend that caused me to reformat my hard drive and reinstall my operating system. I've always wanted to try a Linux based system but I have too many Windows only programs and, frankly, I've been using Windows for so long that I was a little nervous trying something different. Since all my data, except the music from another hard drive, was lost I decided to partition my hard drive and install Vista Home Premium on one 90GB partition and Ubuntu 8.04 (the Hardy Heron) on the other 90GB.
It's only been 2 days since I've installed both operating systems, but so far I'm leaning toward the ease and speed of Ubuntu. I already know what Vista can do, so I'll be spending the next few weeks playing with this operating system to see if Linux can really do everything that Windows can.
