We had installed Ubuntu months ago, but I never had a chance to use it. To be frank, I refrained from using it . Today, Balaji has gone out and here I am in his machine with Ubuntu loaded up. I wanted to test a few of the basic internet applications. Ubuntu comes with default firefox browser for faster and smoother browsing experience. As a Linux newbie, I did not want to try out much and just wanted to get a feel of it.
Apart from Firefox, I tried evolution mail client and I was absorbed with it. It even had an option to configure MS Echange servers. I usually connect to my office exchange through VPN but in this case, evolution had an option to synchronise mails using MS Outlook Web Access. Gosh! It is amazing. I like it.
I have a few hitches with gaim and right now, I am working on it. Once I get it powered up, hope that it will also dance to my tunes.
I am planning to build myself a new powerful desktop and Ubuntu is going to be my regular OS. Frankly, I have fallen to pingu-pimping.
