I got a copy of Ubuntu which I need to get round to installing via VirtualBox so that I can have a wee play with it. Yeah I'll be heading to the Fresher's Fayre on Thursday to see what's happening and will probably have another chat with the guys. I've seen Linux used before and always fancied a shot with it to see how ti compares because I've only ever used Windows before. Let us know how you get on with the test server, sounds interesting.

Yeah I’ll be heading to the Fresher’s Fayre on Thursday to see what’s happening and will probably have another chat with the guys.

I remember seeing that a few plurkers were going to that on Saturday including Hazel (you would have recognised her... big dreads) were about. I've been really interested in linux since last year but have still not moved over. I'm building a test server that will be using ubuntu but I'm not exactly ready to jump ship until developers of larger platforms realise that this is a competing market. Are you going to visit the Fresher's Fayre on Thursday? It's most of the day and you'll be able to find out more - including a lot about the Linux society. They basically have people ranging to die hard addicts to simple people just testing out ubuntu. I was tempted last year to join but I'm definitely considering it this year. All in all, if you can live without the software that makes things easy for you know and choose open source alternatives, then it works great. But I need some apps which I can't run anyway else - like photoshop. That being said, my laptop is totally ubuntu.
