Ubuntu Dapper Drake, my exotic mistress

So, OK, I liked what I saw with the LiveCD. No actually, I loved it. Even from the CD it ran very smoothly. Nice sound when starting up. I liked the default desktop theme. I thought it was great it came with all this great software (GIMP – image editor, open source Office suite, etc…) whereas Windows only comes standard with crappy notebook and crappy paint and Microsoft asks you big money again for their Office package.

I found the user interface very intuitive, very organized and very comprehensive. So yep, I wanted to install this beauty to my harddrive. But I also wanted to keep windows up and running on it. Like an old friend (and foe – regularly) you can’t just leave like that. Or maybe at the moment: Windows is like a spouse after a long marriage. We met in her 3.2 days (was that the eighties?) and over the years I got to know her better, with all her abilities and quacks. I got to resent certain behaviour. And even with her regular plastic surgery… Anyways, I trust her but she still doesn’t trust me a lot of times it seems.

So now I took Ubuntu as my exotic mistress. And at the moment I spend a lot of time with her. Windows doesn’t seem to mind. I don’t know what her father thinks of this but I never cared much for him anyway…
