Ubuntu

I need the experience...I need to learn.  I've been a long time user of Windows, just because that's the easiest.  It's what has always been there at both home and work.

But now I'm trying Ubuntu at home.  And I must say it is becoming addictive and fun.  Yes there is a learning curve for us newbies, but I think I like it.  There ae some things that are very easy to do, others take some trial and error.  Everything is much faster (so far) from what I've seen.  I'm trying to get better at the command shell, but my typing is not the best.

Faster?
- Open a file to edit. yes
- Run a command that's not recognized? A "try this" will be given, including how to get the files needed to run the command.  I tried using drush and it wasn't recognized.  Ubuntu told me how to get it.  One command later and I'm running drush.  No need to surf, download, and install.  If the package is out there, you can start using it very quickly.
