She barely noticed. Firefox, Thunderbird and OpenOffice work exactly the same on here Ubuntu desktop. I switched my mom to Ubuntu Linux a year ago.

If you're asking me why I started this blog, I suppose to give back. I don’t think I quite understand the question. If you’re asking me why I started this blog, I suppose to give back.

I also have openbsd on a poweredge server that does absolutely nothing. Ive probably tried out 20 or so distros over the years, ms supports xp x64 worse then they support linux (you heard correctly). drivers for pretty much everything I had to make myself from x86 .inf's. my zune doesnt even work in it, It is outrageous how MS abandoned this operating system. I am planning to put gentoo on my good computer in my next free weekend. I use a vmware machine with the zune software installed, and it works pretty well. my parents computer runs xp because my sister needs itunes (and refuses to install rockbox on her ipod). but other than that, they use firefox, gimp, gaim, openoffice, etc, just like they would on a linux. the computer has been running fine for a year or so with no viruses or anything, but I keep it locked down so tight you cant even look at it funny or it will ask for an adminstrative password. I also recently installed vista (ultimate x64), and got rid of it only because my sound card (ati sb4** in a hp dv8000 CTO computer) requires 'unsigned drivers', which are both a bitch to use and cause windows media player/center/whatever to crash all the time (tech support said a bunch of acronyms id never heard of causing crashes, like DRM, WGA, etc) most computer vendors sell laptops with linux, dell, hp, toshiba, ibm I know for a fact do, and there may be others as well. avoid sony, apple, etc, because they like to void warranties when you install linux (happened with both my g3 a friends ps2, the ps3 is supposedly much better and is powerpc and not mips like ps2 so that should be better. plus there is actually enough ram to do things) sorry I got waaaay off topic. Ill shut up now. i use both xp x64 bit and gentoo linux. I also have openbsd on a poweredge server that does absolutely nothing.
