Please note that I don’t have any plans to use virtualization software. I’m not sure why, but I prefer pure Ubuntu and pure Mac OS systems because I don’t want to manage multiple code bases on each system. And I certainly don’t want to add the Windows code base onto my Mac OS and Ubuntu systems.

I realize this is a personal preference. Millions of people successfully use virtualization software every day.

I’ve installed Ubuntu [most iterations] 7.04. The bootup takes forever on my P4 2.53GHz; 1GB RAMBUS RAM PC…Perhaps Dell has fined tuned the Ubuntu installation so that it loads quickly, but that is not my experience. I now use Debian 4.0r0 (etch) in lieu of Ubuntu. Learning Ubuntu or Debian is fairly easy too. No need to fear these Linux O/S’es any more than Mac or Windows.
A change [of O/S] is as good as a rest!

Not sure how else to get a message to you –

We’d love to tell you about our forays into Ubuntu-land: we are a medium-sized county-based public library that has rolled out Ubuntu desktops on all 350+ of our public access workstations. All our staff will be getting Ubuntu desktops early this fall. We are very much advocates of Open Source solutions and credit Open Source with our ability to supply and support so many workstations for our users.

We’d be happy to write or collaborate with you to write about our experience.
