Wow....it feels nice coming back to my blog and share all of you what has been my best experience by experimeting OS for my laptop.
It is a long story so get your pillow and prepare for a nap.
It all started in June of 2007 when my sister was about to turn 15, here in Mexico we make a huge deal about it, big party, etc, everything had to be perfect.
Since I had some practice with computers, I decided to make a video of my sister, which showed since she was a baby till today using Pinnacle 9. Everything was going on wheels until...my lap got infected...i could be running it still, but as time passed it was getting slower and slower until one fateful day, I got the bluescreen of dead right at the start! I was worried I couldnt finished my sister's video, and I couldnt make a backup for it, so, I had to go to my school at 8 PM just to finish the **** video the day before the party! Thank God I managed to do my best and finished the video like at 12 AM, (the security guard was very pissed since I didnt want to leave).
I was so mad at MS at that time!
I left my laptop in a place where they could repair it and took it back a week after the party. During the party a lot of my cousins came to the city and stayed with us, one of them, which is a computer engineer showed me the Linux light, and he told me to download Ubuntu right after I got my laptop. I thought he was using me as a Guinea Pig just to test it, but I still downloaded it.
First of all I was surprised at the "LiveCD" feature Ubuntu had, I just had to put the disk and I got Ubuntu running without having it to install, I liked it so much I decided to take the plunge and Install it, it took me about 15 minutes to make the full installation and I got everything working, from my drivers to my webcam.
Since then I am using Ubuntu for everything! It completely buries Vista in everything!
So take my advice, download the "LiveCD" and try Ubuntu, if you dont like it dont install it, but you will regret it when you have your lap or PC infected.
Try Ubuntu and taste the freedom of Open-Source.
