So for the last few weeks I've been immersed in Linux geekery! I installed Ubuntu Linux on my Macbook about a month ago and after a few initial hiccups (nothing too serious) i now have it running smoothly. My reason for making the switch from OSX to Ubuntu is that on my laptop all i do is surf the web, listen to music, check email and write code, i found OSX 10.4 to be too slow and bloated for these fairly simple tasks.. since 10.4 updates to the operating system all seem to be focused around the iPhone and iPod and not on tuning up the kernel! Apple are pushing towards making things look 'pretty' and 'futuristic' instead of towards functional and ninja... and really i want more ninja , less frills.
