Linux and I

It has been a while now since I was first introduced to Linux. My first distro, almost 2 years ago (end of 2009), was an OpenSuse. I had it installed as a virtual box under Vista. I tried to use it as a Windows substitute, as I was really amazed by the open source concept. Nevertheless, I did not really have a motivation to make the transition. My use of the virtual box faded until I almost forgot about it.

Last February, I was introduced to a new software that run under Linux. So I had my second virtual box, Ubuntu this time. I had to learn a little bit about bash, more details on the Linux file structure. Before I knew it, I was a potential for a Linux geek :) It seems that help is always there online when you need it (provided you knew what the problem is). I skimmed two references that I always keep nearby (The Ubuntu Bible and Ubuntu Unleashed).

In less than two month, I abolished Windows off my PC and was a pure Ubuntu. I'd really give my vote to Linux at any given argument. Nevertheless, someone has to do something about office productivity if Linux is to be a Win substitute. That's why I keep a Win system for MS-Office works.

I guess I have learnt a couple of tricks through my work. I like to share what I've learnt here. It is the best way to look up what did one do before ;)
