By the end of 2007 I decided to give Linux desktop a try, and I installed Kubuntu 7.10 in dual boot with Windows XP on my PC.

There were a couple of reasons for doing this:

- In my day job, my work changed from pure technical to pre-sales.

    So I was looking for a way to still do some technical stuff

- I am a Telecom engineer, specialised in Alcatel telephone exchanges. 

  As nearly all telephone exchanges  run on Linux servers, linux desktop seemed

  a good choice to keep up to date with my technical stuff at work.

- Vista came out, and I was looking for a change on my desktop PC.

    After hearing all kinds of stories about SW and HW not being

   compatible with Vista, I did not want to pay for an OS that only

   works in a restricted way.

At first I used Linux now and then to learn how to use it.

Later on when I figured out what applications to use, I almost did not use Windows anymore, except for an interface to read-out my solar panel production.

I needed some extra diskspace for films and decided to throw out windows alltogether.

As I am a satisfied Linux user, I decided to give the Linux OS a bit more visibility, and signed up at the Linux counter
