Having so much fun learning

Learning has never been so much fun as when it is something you wanted to learn and not forced to learn.

I have been listening to Linux podcasts, thelip, going Linux and Linux Reality. These three will help the newbie Linux user to learn more and faster.

If you are like many Linux users you have learned the hard way. A little at a time. By listening to these podcasts it's like getting inside the head of a Linux User and the feedback adds to it.

Save your money, Get more out of your computer. I have more fun on the computer now then I did when Commodore 64 was huge.... That was over 20 years ago....

The Games the programs the whole package. If you do nothing but use the KDE or GNOME Desktops for your new home. It will save you time, money and headaches over Windows and you be able to do so much more right out of the box.

With Windows you have to get an Anti-Virus just to get Windows online. Then if you want to do games - you have to buy them. If you want Word Processing, Databases or Spreadsheets you have to buy the programs and install them. Want to do Pictures and restore old ones Linux you can Windows, yes you got it have to go out and buy the software. Just in these examples you are talking over $1,000 just to get Windows to do what Linux and do right out of the box. Sorta speak out of the ISO or Disk Sets. And the most it cost you was a few blank disks and a few hours downloading the ISO's and burning them to disk and then installing it on your computer.

Each day I learn something new. How to use different packages (Software) and slowly learning Command Line to get things done the way I want them done.
