In the past I had toyed around with the idea of using Linux on my main computer but never really dedicated the time to learning how to use it and just reverted back to what was familiar. Having just recently had my Windows pc infested with all sorts of rootkits and what not and not being able to eradicate them completely I’ve decided that instead of doing a fresh install of Windows I’m just going to give Linux a serious try. I’ve decided to go with OpenSUSE Linux ver. 11.1. My laptop, a Thinkpad T60, is on the list of compatible units so I’m hoping the install will go smoothly. I’ll post some updates once I get it installed.

It's going very well. It's amazing how far the distros have come with making things so user-friendly….like you can get by without knowing much in the way of terminal commands, etc. And it just looks so nice as well. I decided to load Ubuntu 9.04 after using OpenSUSE for a couple of weeks because I was having some trouble with graphics card drivers. It runs so much better than Windows too. Everything seems so much faster.
