use linux

So I ended up purchasing a new laptop. Instead of purchasing a new hard drive for my old laptop (Toshiba Satellite S205-2415) I purchased an HP Pavilion dv9000t.

I do a lot of C#/.NET software development, so I couldn’t completely remove Microsoft Windows out of my life. That will be my next goal. I ended up partitioning the 80 GB drive that came with the new laptop in an 60/20 split (60 for windows/16 for linux/4 for linux swap).

I installed Ubuntu Linux (http://www.ubuntu.com/).

Here’s to a new year and a complete conversion from Windows to Linux.

Before I can even attempt this goal, I need to purchase another laptop hard drive. My production machine currently is a Toshiba Satelite 2415-S205. It’s got a 30 gig hard drive and 1 gig of RAM. It’s currently loaded with XP Pro. I need to get another laptop hard drive that I can pop in and out of my machine for an independant Gentoo installation.
