Bob,<br>Hey bob don't run to far away from us yet! Don't forget that you can still use the free VMware, and VirtualBox to play with linux inside of windows. You can also use the Ubuntu windows installer that will let you install Ubuntu from inside windows. It creates a hard drive image on your windows partition that will allow you to easily dual boot Ubuntu and Windows.<br>
<br>I know that I didn't just drop windows one day and started using Linux. I use Ubuntu as my main Desktop it's taken me 7 years, and about a dozen different flavors. I still use a combination of Ubuntu and Gentoo as my distributions of choice.<br>
<br>Good luck with windows, and hey don't forget to install some anti-virus asap!<br><br><br>Regards,<br>Arron Lorenz<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 2:16 PM, Robert Jones <<a href="mailto:Robert@rm-jones.com">Robert@rm-jones.com</a>> wrote:<br>

I guess that I'm just tired of it for now so back to Windows at least for a while. Knowing me I'll probably be back to Linux in 6 months so don't give up on me yet. I just have to get some work done. I will probably wait a while and set my older computer up with Linux and play with it to see how things are going. However, I think I will have to keep Windows around for everyday use because I just have to many commitments for my time to keep trying to learn everything at once.<br>
<br>
Before I go I wanted to say thanks to all of you for your help. I'll probably see you at one of the meetings in a few month. I'm so erratic that I never stay in one place to long :-)<br>
<br>
Talk to you all in six months :-)<br>
Bob Jones<br>
