A change of suit

My computer has some years on it's back and over time it has been getting slower and slower making working on it harder and harder. As I can't buy a new computer at the moment (a fiscal matter) I decided to scrap everything on it and install Unix (Ubuntu) time will tell if I made a big mistake, first impression is a big speed improvement.

  1. Well, yes, thank you. It is habit-forming.

  2. My computer runs faster under Ubuntu than under XP as well. I've had the same thoughts as you, but then, I lack the power to run Adobe stuff in a virtual machine, so I'm stuck with Windows. No problem on my laptop though, which has enough memory and runs Ubuntu just fine, if only the screen was bigger (15" WXGA) :P

  3. I've a lot about UNix so will be very interested to hear your progressive reports!
    The blue to suit - to go with the blue you?
    At first I thought it was a shark and we get folk in that predicament out here - crocodiles noted for it too. The teeth act as ultra velcro to hold it all up till they bit you through!

    don't give up if it gets hard/frustrating! the rewards are great if you can stick it out through the rough spots. with ubuntu, the community (online and otherwise) is the operating system, and vice versa.

  6. I would go Linux in a heartbeat if Adobe ported Photoshop, After Effects, etc. to it. Good luck! And congrats on being featured in An Illustrated Life. Looks cool!

  7. I use Gimp now but it's not really a professional alternative to Photoshop, but I mostly scan in images so it works for now. I guess that my next computer will be a mac though..
