I can only take so many mysterious disappearances of my wireless network. It turns out, exactly 146 disappearances! So, when my Vista laptop decided for the 147th time that I was connected to my wireless network “kind of”, I decided enough was enough!

But thinking about it, 95% of my time on the laptop is spent surfing the web, doing email, and writing the odd document - Linux can do all those with ease. So, with nothing to lose, I used the new Vista functionality to shrink my C: drive, and went about installing Ubuntu Linux on the newly created space.

Wow!
