[LINUX_Newbies] Linux is awesome

 

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am enjoying my migration from Windows to Linux! I am currently running Linux Mint 9 on an Asus ul20A laptop. I found that this distro is very friendly and easy to use. Updates are a snap and the interface is fast and friendly.

I have used A few distros in the past (Mandriva, SuSe, and Kubuntu/Ubuntu). I decided that mint is the best for me (it is a lot like Kubuntu/Ubuntu to me as they are all built on Debian).

I am also studying for the Linux+ certification exam (decided to push it off a few months ago as I wanted to get more into linux and also there is a new Linux+ certification exam as well).

I am trying had to get my wife to run Linux -- she is still clinging to Windows ... bummer ... ;(

I am learning c# using monodevelop on Linux and I have not been disappointed yet!! Linux is VERY stable as an OS and powerful. I am getting more and more into the CLI -- which I think is essential to Linux. I also have a desktop tower at home that is running Linux Mint 9 as well.

Does anyone out there have any advice for me on my journey as I continue to get more and more into Linux? Right now I am more of a power user than an admin -- but I want to get to the point where I am very good at the admin stuff with Linux.

Thanks for any advise and letting me rave about Linux!!
