Since I don’t have a chance to use my Linux machine much these days, having to compile everything under Gentoo was getting to be a chore. Often times, it would take hours to update my system to the latest version, only to turn out that I wouldn’t use it for a month. (Mind you, for most of that time, I could walk away while the machine did it’s thing, but it’s still more time than was worthwhile.) So, I formatted the partition and installed a fresh version of Ubuntu Linux.

I haven’t had much time to play around with it, but it seems nice enough, and since it’s Debian-based, it uses the über-cool apt packaging system. It was great to be able to install packages within a matter of seconds rather than minutes (or hours, in the case of Firefox or OpenOffice under Gentoo.)
