Both are a bit different than Windows 7. Windows 8 and 10 are knock-offs of the older look of Gnome. IT's changed though now. Still takes a bit of getting used to. Plan on about a week to adjust. Then you'll wonder why everybody doesn't do things this way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00844975807615812003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-69114321820968288332017-10-06T19:02:59.675+01:002017-10-06T19:02:59.675+01:00I want to be like you when I grow...older... I...I want to be like you when I grow...older... I'm 46 and have been working in IT for 20 years and starting to feel the burnout of Desktop Support/Help Desk. The only technology that has kept my interest going is open source. Had I known back in 1996 how much of a big deal open source would become, I would've made the switch to being a Linux/BSD Sys Admin a long time ago. Anyways, back to 1996, that was the year I ordered the Book/CD combo for FreeBSD 1.0. The book was part getting started with BSD and more than half was printed man pages. I couldn't put the book down back then.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-50088480635824753332017-10-06T16:58:45.739+01:002017-10-06T16:58:45.739+01:00I be turning 35 this year.

I too have several laptops and love to install and play around with new offerings which occur almost daily. Fortunately I have FIOS wi-fi connections and enjoy using Linux Mint with Xfce as my principle distro but do have Xubuntu installed also....ronAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12758355348965686545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-45059592332890900672017-10-06T04:36:29.938+01:002017-10-06T04:36:29.938+01:00Good for you, I am glad you went to the Linux worl...Good for you, I am glad you went to the Linux world, I am know expert of Linux and of course when I started out with it back in 2001 I also had trouble getting around, but from the very first time I loved what I had seen on the screen, and of course over time I got better at it.
