I used to have an Ubuntu partition running on my old Dell. I used it for development from from time to time and I just enjoy using Linux/Unix systems, so it was always nice to have that partition to switch into when the need arose (How often was it to use wget? Pretty often.) When my Dell died and I got my new HP, I really didn't have any time set aside to set up a dual boot machine. I had client work hanging over my head and had been without a computer for something like three weeks so it was a desperate situation. There was no time for niceties. I had to toss the Adobe Creative Suite disc in there, watch that thing grind through its install; toss the MS Office 2007 disc in and watch it do the same; and then I had to go.

I guess I could research it, but it's almost perfectly clueless so it seems like it might be too good to be true.

Read it anyway…

I'm not down with Vista.

Please Adobe, release Dreamweaver, Photoshop and the rest on Linux, so I can quit Windows painlessly.

Mass. We're kicking your ass.

We are the home of the FSF after all.
