ubuntu 7.10: finally no need for XP

[Chris.Masih at crawco.co.uk]

:oD

i started dual booting with linux about 18months ago.  I tryed several 
different distros
including ubuntu (prefered kubuntu at the time) and generally wasnt too 
pleased about stuff like 
the root pw, nonfree codecs hunting, ntfs r/w..and others, you know, like 
most XP users are!
but i learned quite a bit about the whole process in the meantime.

all that kind of fizzled out after a while and i went back to a single 
boot XP  for 
one reason or another. 

a couple of weeks ago i decided to try linux again, and to my delight the 
newer releases 
have even more ability out of the box and are very simple to configure, i 
ended up prefering 
ubuntu (like the majority of linuxers it seems). i think the final straw 
was when i managed 
to get the 3D desktop working, i thought "this is awesome!!!" it even has 
more "WOW" than
 XP.now..not that i really need 3D but it just demonstrated how developed 
linux desktop is 
today. 

a couple of days ago i just replaced the XP on my main drive with ubuntu 
and
im pretty chuffed that i am finally able to do so, thanks ubuntu (and 
everyone else)
 just wanted to share this..
