Ubuntu a first time experience

So in preparation for getting a Asus Eee PC (hopefully from st Nick) i decided really i need to find out about Linux as i know nothing, well about Linux anyway.

I use three OS (four if you count Mac OS 10.4.11/10.5) Mac/Vista/XP so switching to another OS is not a issues its a challenge.

So i picked up a copy of Ubuntu 7.10.

Its very different yet familiar all at the same time, its UI is modern sleek and rather uncluttered everything is tucked away in drop down menus across the top. Its so easy to set up and everything was done practically for me on start up,

its new and i am still looking how things worse but the main things that i need to work, work with very little set up Firefox, IM, and open office are all there and just work. its good just need that laptop now, oh well i just have to wait
