My first post from Linux...

Okay, so maybe that's not such a big thing to most people, however I'm really pleased. This would have happened last night except Blogger appeared to be having problems. It's been a long time since I first posted about my move away from Microsoft, and although it has finally occured in part due to a machine failure, it is good to finally be here.

I should talk a bit about Suse 9.2 Professional, which has been a joy to use so far. I am looking forward to trying it out on a more powerful machine as soon as I can. One thing that has surprised me is that it's not as polished as I thought it would be. I've never been under the missapprehension that a Linux distro is going to be completely polished but I was thinking that Suse would be, given the way Novell are talking about it. Linux is still now where near ready to be a replacement for Windows for many many people. Luckily it's fine for me.

It has taken me a little while to get my development environment up and running on this machine, and it is far too slow to do much with, but I'm going to try to get back into Quintanona tonight.
