After spending way too much on operating systems, anti-viruses, etc. I now use Ubuntu from Linux. It comes in a package all ready to go with openoffice.org and firefox 3. You don’t have to be a total geek either, like I used to think.

It also works on Mac. I kept 10% of my hard drive for windows because I’m not ready to give up my Ipod. Thats another “want to” post.

You can download the CD, burn it and give it away if you want….its all free. Once you burn it, you can load it into the tray, and reboot and just try it out before you install it.

If you’ve read anything else but the mainstream news you know change is coming. Its not a bad thing really, unless you can’t give up that Hummer or 3000 sq ft house before.

Well I am moving in this direction, I would recommend reading a few more books than just survival books. Two books with the same name come to mind. “Radical Simplicity” by Dan Price, and “Radical Simplicity” by Jim Merkel.
