From Windows to Linux

I finally made the switch from Windows as a primary desktop to Linux. My distribution of choice is Debian. It’s a great distribution and their net-install disc makes for a quick ISO download and burn. Then you can choose how much you want to install, instead of just downloading a huge image file, and removing things you do not want or need.

I’m currently using Gnome for the environment. I haven’t played around with the different pre-installed themes or anything yet, but that is just because I’ve recently finished setting up the basic stuff on the system. I’d also like to venture off into other window managers sometime, but for now I think I’ll stick with what I have, at least until I get bored with it.

For a little more information, I still plan on being an active Windows user. My current laptop (as mentioned in a previous post) is still running Vista, but I am thinking about putting XP back on it, as I believe it to be more stable than Vista will ever be.
