Ubuntu on the Laptop

I’ve been holding off putting linux on my laptop for quite a while because it was difficult to get WPA encryption working. There was never any native support for it, and I didn’t want to use WEP because it doesn’t provide any security.

Recently though, a package was released that handled WPA properly, and it’s a breeze to set up. So, Friday night I installed Ubuntu linux and I’m up and running with no problems. For anybody who’s interested, there’s a great guide to customizing Ubuntu at ubunutguide.org

Now I just have to work on my server, and I’ll be finished with Windows at home.
