I Miss Ubuntu Linux

Lucid Lynx R.I.P

For the time being, I have returned to the Windows world.  I am putting my old machine aside to wait until I can make a rational decision about whether to install yet another parallel ATA drive or simply move on to a more contemporary machine.  I'm now forced to use an old Windows XP computer, an ancient Dell Inspiron.  I'm not happy.

I backed up my old computer a while ago, so I shouldn't lose much.  I am also considering partitioning the hard drive of this Inspiron so I can use Linux again.  I'd rather go buy a used PC, ditch the operating system, and install the latest (stable and well-reviewed) version of Ubuntu, but I'll have to do plenty of shopping before I find what I want in a PC.  I think I'll get a desktop model, so I can enjoy some extra horsepower for my money.

Windows is even worse than I remember it.
