Jackpot... the machine is being assembled smaller that 2 reams of A4 and hopefully enough grunt to make CAD work a moving experience... MORE in the coming weeks....

A quick scan of the opening page left me bored. There is an urgent need for a new thread expressing current developments.

I am no geek (too lazy to be bothered with tweaking at "text level"), but then there is no need as a gui widget covers most things (it just takes an effort, luck and time to find where it is). and when I find a windoze app that has not been ported to Linux yet (FreeShip-Plus from http://freeship-plus.pisem.su/indexEN.html ) Please if anyone can, please do port this open sourse application... else wine works in most cases. (windoze users, please be careful of the above site popups emerge from everywhere)

One cannot call Linux "free in $$$ sense" as I make contributions to help with projects of interest, and that is good...

As a programmer myself I love the idea of Ubuntu (or any Linux platform), but I agree there are a lot of fallacies out there about it. “No Viruses” I cringe when I hear this for Macs or Other Linux versions. There are viruses for it. I know because started making viruses on Linux machines. The only reason you don’t see more viruses these days is because LESS PEOPLE USE LINUX. I’m not going to make a virus for a platform that most people don’t use. Also, since less people use it, less people have enough skill to make viruses for it. This also especially true because it caters to people who want ease-of-use. It is, by no means, more secure though. I would just call it more virgin.

If you write viruses you are not a programmer. Only a complete idiot writes viruses, and only because he lacks the talent to write a real program.

Comparing Windows to Linux is like comparing a bicycle to a missile. They are not made for the same user. Windows is for the masses (basic users). Linux is for people who can actually utilized (power users). They are both necessary.

I have considered installing ubuntu, but my problem is I have clients that I do work for where I need to connect to their servers with a remote desktop which leaves me stuck with Winblows. Is it possible to run Ubunto and Winblows on one machine? If so does anyone have links to a good set of instructions?

Yeah--you can have both Ubunto and Windows on one computer. During the Ubuntu installation process, you can opt to get rid of Windows entirely or partion your hard drive. This link makes the installation a no-brainer http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/installing
