From Windows to Ubuntu
Chief among these “things I’d like to change when I have the time” was my use of Windows XP as my operating system. So I downloaded a Ubuntu ISO CD image, burned that, backed up my data, then formatted my hard drive and installed Linux.

The last time I tried to install Linux was probably about 5 years ago and I remember it asking me all kinds of questions for which I didn’t know the answer. I don’t even recall Ubuntu asking me any questions, and if they did they must have been trivial because I don’t remember them.
Q: What was your first impression of the user experience?
