Yes! I used Ubuntu for six months - wrote my thesis on it and everything. I loved it! But like I said - weird computer issues forced me to go back to Windows, and now I'm kind of stuck with it until I'm making money and can buy a new computer.

It's fabulous, though - I always feel a little lost around Macs, and I had no problems at all with Ubuntu. It's so customizable that you can make it feel very Windows. Just - more flexible, with less annoying things you've got no control over. And the Ubuntu community on-line is incredibly active and helpful! I did run into a few problems and questions, and I always found a solution in one of the Ubuntu forms!

Being broke is no fun. Ahh. One day, I shall be a Rich Librarian! And then I shall buy tiny computers for everyone! XD
