Back to Linux...
...and what a relief... Stumbled upon Ubuntu at slashdot discussions. The comments were pretty interesting which provoked me to poke my nose into the developments in Linux... visited the ununtu site only to find some release candiate. It was also blocked since the full version was due on next day. So decided to wait for another day to download. The next day had to wait till late evening to see the full version online. Then downloaded the .iso file and decided to install it on VMWare since messing around with my office system would be a disaster. The wait was worth it... the installation process asked me a zillion less questions than my first attempt at installing RH4.1. The desktop was very much impressive and stable. Internet started working by itself. This was the biggest bottle neck in using Linux. Rest all worked with equal ease. The mail, CD writer software...everything... Even blogging this article from Ubuntu desktop... it simply simple...
