Running Ubuntu Linux 7.04

Well, I'm finding myself drawn to the Linux world for many reasons. 1) The OS is completely free 2) New challenges and problems arise, thus learning something new each time you use the OS, and many, many more to list...

Anyway, I was running Ubuntu 7.04 a few weeks ago on my custom desktop. I liked it, alot. I learned many new shell commands. Installed a ton of applications manually and configured them to my liking. One of the programs of which I installed was called Beryl. This little program transforms your plain Ubuntu desktop into a 3D amazing graphic enviorment. I had also a few programs on the side for my personal use (xmms, IM, IRC, FTP, SSH, etc.) that I had customized as well.

I have mistakenly formatted my C:\ and removed the Ubuntu partition. Reason? I did not have a plan set. I think if your thinking about installing an alternative OS, you need a plan to follow by. If not, in 3 days you'll find yourself formatting, just like I did. I'm drawing myself out a plan in my head, so that when I want and find myself the time to install Ubuntu 7.04 again, I will be prepared to make the change, yet again. I really miss the OS. The first time I used it was back in 2005, when it was first emerging from the Linux scene. It hadn't received the attention it deserves. Once my plan is ready, I will install the OS once again from the DVD. I will most likely dual-boot with XP. Hence, only using XP when I really need to.

More updates to come..
