Image via WikipediaI am a .net developer with a guilty concessions,
I always dream to ride the Java, Open Source and Linux wave. But sometimes I used to make open source .net projects, or clone applications to .net platform for others. but for me that was never enough.
I loved .net, but not windows, this is not a .net article, but you can say I am an interoperability guy, I am on the boarders between different platforms, I am not a guru, but when it comes to interoperability, communication protocols and SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) I am your guy isA.
So, I took a great jump, I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my Toshiba Satallite pro since 6 month ago and I am willing to stick with it, I removed windows XP. I will not tell you I am very happy :? but I can tell you initially, it loads much faster despite I am having like Oracle Db, mySQL, Apache server services running, and bunch of IDEs Eclipse, MonoDevelope, CodeBlock... more, opening them is a breath on Ubuntu.
I love Ubuntu Software Center, Ubuntu official software repository similar to Apple appstore.
I must be fair, I had a pain installing my HP Deskjet d1663 Printer, before I knew the HP Linux Imaging & Printer :), it put a smile on my face. all you do install the script and run "sudo hp-setup" and you are all set. it is far more simpler, and far less hectic than installing on windows, all you need, is to get familiar with cups and Ubuntu administration tool, and patients.
more on development tools on Ubuntu.
Join me on my voyage.
