I have been a full fledge Ubuntu user since Dapper was first released (in May/June-ish?), and I absolutely despise having to work on Windows machines now. I have written a couple of posts on Ubuntu you might want to check out: Using CFEclipse on Ubuntu 6.06 and <a href="http://www.daveshuck.com/index.cfm?commentID=133" rel="nofollow">Installing CFMX7 & Apache2.2.2 on Ubuntu 6.06</a> Just wait till you start playing with Gnome and seeing how configurable it is. Have fun! Good luck at not becoming a Linux snob.

Just like you and oldskool I've completely switched from Windows to an Ubuntu desktop a couple of months ago. I still need Windows from time to time (Flash IDE, Enterprise Architect etc..) so I've gotten myself a copy of VMWare so I can still run my Windows desktop as well. VMWare is definitly worth getting a copy of! I do not only use it to run an instance of Windows, which is much easier than dual boot, but I've also got a complete virtual network running with all kinds of test servers. So, if you make a mistake or you messed up a server, just delete it and start again. It's also nice to try out different distro's... :) Welcome to the club!

I've followed a similar course to you trying out various Linux's for years, but Ubuntu has been the first one I'm happy using daily on my desktop. I switched from XP almost completely a couple of months ago and other than the lack of Flash (IDE & Plugin) I'm more than happy and am not in the least bit interested in Vista. Good luck, and give XGL & Compiz I try if you want be really impressed! Ha, welcome to the future!
