Finally Linux addicted!

After more than 10 years of temptation, since good friends (Samuka Pecci) showed me the betas and the terminals (argh, at that moment, didn't attracted me at all), I have finally decided to enter the linux world. Yeah yeah, it took really long time, and work to push me thru it, but I am finally here...

I can say that the new distros are already very competitive with the Windows world, and easy to use/maintain. Still, if you want to reach a little bit lower level of its potential, there is a dark path and considerable learning curve to process it all.

Right now I am using the new version of Ubuntu 8 at home (we don't need anything more than a browser and video to handle all my needs, lol), and I am very satisfied with the graphical interface and usability. I can say that it changed a lot (since the first releases that I dropped out), especially related to the hardware recognition and software installation/update process.

So, here I will put some of my experiences (some codes too), that I think helped me out with to breath in this new world!!!
