Here’s a really nice piece on moving from Windows XP to Ubuntu Linux. I’ve had an Ubuntu installation for a several months now and after some serious issues during the upgrade to Edgy (which turned out to be due to some system killing hardware conflicts), I really wish I could work in Ubuntu all of the time. I still have a few things that require Windows, most notably Windows development tasks that require Visual Studio. But, if I ever get the time, I may look into a virtual machine solution like VMWare. Of course, honestly I’d prefer to get another box altogether and just use VNC to work on the secondary machine, but the budget and space won’t really allow that right now!
