I’ve been using Ubuntu Linux on my netbook for a while now. The user experience has been great. It runs much faster and my hard-drive is never busy without me doing anyhting. So I decided to equip all of our office desktop computers with Ubuntu too. You’re not seeing one single Windows machine around here. In the next weeks and months I might be adding a few posts on how to make the most out of your Ubuntu installation.
To make Ubuntu even faster, disable all hard-disk indexing (also in open-source development tools).
