Linus, my Newest, Bestest Friend
Recently I've been playing around with idea of making the switch over to Linux. Fortunately the buy-out of our company has relaxed our deadlines so I have a lot of free time on my hands and I've been able to take the first steps to making a complete switch.
Really I think the hardest part is choosing the right distro. There are literally thousands to choose from, and I guess, if I wanted I could just build my own flavor. That'll come soon enough, but for now I went with Kubuntu. I started off with a Mandrake-Mini, but it turned out to be not so mini at all. I'm running a dual-pentII 350 mhrtz, 256mb RAM, 2 gig SCSI HD at work, and an OS install taking 95% of HD space just wasn't working out. Kubuntu is nice, easy to install, good package management and only takes 50% with the core server install.
I've now got Kubuntu on a 1 gig partition on my laptop at home, so I can boot into a linux OS when desired. I've used a server management and install package called Xampp that is really cool. It comes with Apache Web Server, PHP, MySQL, ProFTPd, SSL, and Perl and all installs with one simple command. Fun times ahead, thanks Linus!
