It is high time to move to Linux!

I really started working on ubuntu recently by installing Ubuntu karmic koala .I enjoy working in linux platform and feels that it is an OS for the developer by the developer and of the developer. I remember the days started with the linux while studying for the PG course(2001-2004) , the struggles to play music and video files ,try to understanding and editing of configuration files etc. The impression those created prevented me in getting deep into linux for a very long time.In fact I installed ubuntu 9.4 some six months back with wubi installer(I was afraid to touch my windows OS) and played around for some time.But I didn't feel that great about ubuntu that time and it got corrupted after few days and I abandoned ubuntu thereafter.What made me to have another experiment with ubuntu this time is some articles comparing ubuntu karmic koala against windows 7 soon after the release of karmic koala.I hadn't seen such a great comparison betwean ubuntu and windows before and decided to have another experiment with linux.Even this time I started with wubi installer(Installing ubuntu inside windows as a windows service without creating a separate linux partition).soon got into problems again as erlier understanding its limitations.But this time I really loved experimenting with Ubuntu and felt very comfortable getting into it.I enjoyed the weekend I started working with ubuntu and in fact I abandoned windows for next two weeks!.Within few hours of installing I had the set-up equivalent to what I had in windows with a much more simple interface fast response and enjoyed good quality music and videos.
I faced little difficulty only in getting installed java and Java ides such as eclipse and netbeans other than that it was a breeze.And the good thing is ubuntu have a good online documentation (http://ubuntuguide.org)and will get good support from online forums and sites.So if you haven't tried Ubuntu till I recomment this is high time to experience that!. I will be sharing my experince in starting Ubuntu in my future posts .
