My journey down linux lane

So I've decided to try and migrate to a 100% linux desktop. I have toyed with various flavors (redhat, suse, mandrake) but I have to say that I'm pleased with using kubuntu. I've set up my system to dual boot until I completely ween myself off. So the installation was a piece of cake but trying to get my wireless usb adapter configured is like pulling teeth. I think this is probably one of the biggest road block of would be linux users. I like the fact that adept can update packages. The number one reason for migrating to linux though is the coolness factor. I love the fact that the console window can be transparent but the icing on the cake is beryl. I actually saw beryl while attending DefCon two years ago but did not know what it was called. It just flat out rocks. I'll keep you posted on how I progress.

Tech Ed Wrap Up

Well, I didn't finish up my write up of Tech Ed when I should but I figured I'd put down my thoughts while I still remember them lol. So where did I leave off? Oh yeah...so the week at Tech Ed was phenomenal. There was so much relevent info/technology that I didn't get to attend all the sessions that I wanted to. Luckily, Microsoft provides all of them recorded on DVD. Just waiting for it to arrive :-( The conference in it of itself was by far the best 2 Grand of company funded expenses I've ever spent. I made some great contacts from other companies, all of whom do exactly the same thing I do but just in different business sectors. I'm definitely there next year.
