Ubuntu (Linux)
This past weekend I installed and configured Linux for the first time. My friend wanted a free operating system and Ubuntu was suggested by another friend of his.
I am very impressed with the operating system. I did have one problem with the install, namely, getting his wireless modem to work. I finally found a wrapper program that allows Ubuntu to use the Windows driver for the modem. After finding that, it worked like a gem.
Another wonderful add-on for Ubuntu is Wine. Its a Windows Emulator. Yes, you can run some Windows software on Linux! I installed Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and he says it loads faster and runs better than it ever did on Windows!
I highly recommend Ubuntu for anyone looking for a free operating system, or anyone that just wants something different! Check out the interface below. Click on it for fullsize.
Dexter
For everyone out there that hasn't seen it yet, what are you waiting for? Dexter is on Showtime. Its a story of a serial killer that only kills very bad people. He also happens to be on the police force. The writing for the show is incredible. Check it out! http://www.sho.com/site/dexter/home.do
