Anyone else out there using Ubuntu?

I have recently installed Ubuntu on my computer, partly because I wanted to get away from Windows and partly because a virus was running a muck in my puter. Again, another reason why I wanted to get away from Windows and all it's vulnerabilities.

For the most part I am loving it. The clean, streamline design has just about all I could need and the program hasn't cluttered up my computer. There are some draw backs though. Of course my printer isn't compatible with the program and Dell is know for not writing new code for existing products. Hp is the same way. Ask me how I know. Cause this printer was purchased to replace a older HP printer that didn't have any new drivers available to update for the newer windows programs. But on the brighter side, this will keep from from hitting the print button for every little thing I see, that of course I am going to make someday but never do. I haven't even tried the photo software yet. I have a Sony digital camera, but because it's a few years old, I am sure it will not work too. I will just have to bog dear hubbies laptop down with all my trivial programs.

I still have loads to learn about this and I find the more I try, the better it is getting. If anyone out there knows any tricks, please send them along. I would love to meet folks that are using Ubuntu. Tags: ,
