Those who know me a bit will know that I have been a fan of Linux for a number of year. Linux is an open-source Operating System, which means that it is available for free, but also that you can do pretty much what you want with it (even giving it away to friends) without breaking the law.

I have used a number of distributions over the years, starting with Opensuse. Through the years I have tried Fedora, Kubuntu, Ubuntu, and more recently Linux Mint. One of the problem with Linux distributions is that many tend to become addicted to upgrading their system in order to get the new exciting stuff. I must say I fall in that category, although I am now becoming more settled. So, after using Linux Mint for a while, about a year, I decided to upgrade to Ubuntu Linux Lucid Lynx, after reading many praises.

It went smoothly, and I am gradually getting back on track. I have most things reinstalled now, and almost everything seems to work smoothly. That’s appart from the wireless which got me frustrated. I checked the forums, and I am not the only one, so I feel better.

Even the sound is working at last, after a year when it was only working on and off.
