If you’ve read this blog, you know we installed Ubuntu after or vacation in September when windows kindly gave us the Black Screen of Death (NTLDR Missing).  Peter has a love hate relationship with it, but he had a similar relationship with Windows.  Granted, I wish he’d love Ubuntu 9.10 as much as I do, but I’ll take what I can get.  And, what I can get is free.  We’ve had a combination of hardware and software problems, so it’s not always easy to diagnose.  Thankfully, Ubuntu has a terrific user’s forum where kindly users offer needed help.  Today, I’m going to include some of my favorite things about Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala.

As I sit on the plane, surrounded by the hum of the engine and the chill of the window, I can’t help but notice the person in front of me repeatedly adjusting their seat, each movement a grating assault on my laptop screen.
