I have a 10gb partition on my drive with a destroyed ubuntu sitting on it collecting dust.
For a while, we were using a different router than our regular one, and therefore ubuntu could actually connect to the internet, so I installed it. (
My thread on the ubuntu forums).
Though now we're back on the old router and until adsl2+ arrives, we'll be on this one.
While I was using ubuntu, I felt pretty limited as to what I could do. It also made me laugh quite a few times with some of the things I had to do to say, edit a text file and be able to save it. Also having to enter my password each and every time to do an administrative action, even though I've proven I know my password by actually logging into the OS was kind of annoying. In the end, I just gave up. I later came back to it and tried to XGL/Compiz it, though failed.
I never really saw the appeal of linux before using it, and after using it, my opinion basically remains unchanged.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
