Ubuntu Linux Shuts the Windows

Apparently my computer has been sleeping with other promiscuous computers. It is quite the whore. And so like many machines in the said profession, it got sick.

Trojan. Yes, it goes quite well with the whole 'promiscuous' theme, but it didn't go well with my pc. I was running around 330 processes and using up 100 percent of my capacity. Trojan locked up my computer, made it impossible for me to function, and basically prompted me to do something I have wanted to do for a long time. I am now bringing DavidBlog to you via Linux! Ta daaaaa. Or for those of you lucky few familiar enough with it, Ubuntu Linux.

After rebooting my computer in safe mode and backing up all the files I needed, I spoke with a dear friend of mine who has bailed me out of more computer problems and crappy Windows junk for longer than I'm sure he cares to remember. You know who you are....Thanks TB! I ended up having to reinstall Windows and I bought a Linksys broadband wireless router...sweet. It kind of felt like someone came into my home, threw away nearly everything I owned, and then refurnished my place with a nice few basics. It hurt like hell watching all my stuff go in the trash, but when I looked up and saw a clean, neat, simple pad it was well worth it. A fresh start. I just took the fresh start and re-decorated.

TB, we'll call him the all powerful, let me in on a way to run Linux immediately, and I can do so until I can get the software to partition my hard drive to install it there. It's basically an old concept, but it's nearly a 600Mb file downloaded and then written to a CD, from which you boot your computer. Voila.....Linux lives. It is slower because it is on a cd, but I have all the security and virus-free living that comes standard with Linux. My computer loves me...for umentionable reasons.

All you Linux-ers out there let me know what you think and/or what you know about Ubuntu! I'm new to the Linux world but have been an admirer for quite a long time as I have been quite disappointed with Microsoft for some while. As of now I've only been up and running for a day, but so far I am thrilled with it!
