New home Linux user.

I recently installed Ubuntu Linux at home. I’ve used Linux at work for about a year now. (I work for an ISP/Web Host in San Diego, CA) But this is my first time using it at home. I’ve run into several interesting problems. The first being that I’ve never really worked with the X Window System. The systems I usually work with are servers which are strictly command line. Granted my Desktop at work runs SuSE but I never get to play with the behind the screen stuff of my work computer, it just works. I have to say my favorite part of running Linux at home now is all the free software. Almost any software title you can name for Windows, theres a free equivalent in Linux.

The list goes on…

This article lists 20 great applications for the Linux OS. I can’t wait to try them all.
