Re: [PLUG] I'm Convinced To Try Ubuntu

I just tried the Linux Mint live CD and it was sooo nice -- it was like when I'm on my 5th cup of coffee at work and I think I see God.

rather than installing, why not try live cd's or virtual machines?
This way you can try any Ubuntu variant or whatver else you want.

if it's any consolation, I find XP to be too cluttered, with too much
overhead. I use Xubuntu even though I have lotsa horsepower. Tried kde
but it bothers me.

The only problem I see is that XFCE isn't as tightly integrated with
Ubuntu as it should be. That aside, it's running on all of my machines
at home and work, plus a laptop. The only exception is one trial of
PClinuxOS.

I sure hope so. Maybe I'll get a chance to give back....
