But here’s Ubuntu week 1, not edited or smoothed out. Week 1 I should have taken pictures – unboxing a new laptop is a lot of fun. My first step was to make sure the laptop booted. Once Ubuntu finished booting, I clicked the wonderful “install&# icon at the top. I got a Lenovo Thinkpad Z61m.

I’m actually quite happy – I can run both Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux on my laptop, and I like Android (and my Droid 2 phone) a lot. And, of course, using Ubuntu on the desktop is fun. I’ve gone from being a Mac/iPhone user, to being a ThinkPad/Android user, and not looking back.

August 9, 2007 It’s been 7 weeks of using Ubuntu 7.04 (better known as Feisty Fawn) as my primary desktop. The only time I shut down this laptop is when I’m taking it somewhere, which is relatively rarely. I have no problem getting just about all of my work done using Ubuntu. I love apt-get/aptitude.

I’m on week 3 of my Ubuntu laptop migration – things are smoothing out – I’ve got audio working, I can listen to mp3 and audio streams. I still haven’t figured out how to get higher resolution on my laptop screen, but that’s mostly due to lack of time trying to get it to work.
