Writing from Ubuntu

August 10, 2005

I might as well be in a foreign country. 

I’m currently hacking away from a 4 year old computer with a 700Mhz processor and 128MB of RAM.  It just about conked out on us until a student of mine, Emer Banez (aka Josep Estrada), suggested (and later installed) Ubuntu Linux.  (Thanks, Emer!) 

I must say, I like the interface.  Bless the hearts of the folks at Ubuntu for including just about all the applications a home user would need. 

I’ve always been an advocate of Free Software and even took out a membership at the Free Software Foundation (just to get a chance to see Richard Stallman in person).  But this is the first time I’ve actually used Linux. 

So far, so good.

Now I have to install a wireless network card on this thing.  Any suggestions?
