Enough of endless antivirus frustrations and diddling about with fixing near-unfixable cracked apps. We've switched to Ubuntu (Edgy Elf) 6.10 and, so far, it's almost all upside: faster, more stable Net surfing and downloads, faster startups and shutdowns, simplified menus and much cooler, more elaborate user interface.

Why didn't i do this so much earlier?

Update-AD.2008.05.18.14h25.ICT: After about nine months, and dozens of installations and uninstallations, or not, from the thousands of app's and servers Ubuntu's repositories afford, plus a not-so-easy upgrade to Ubuntu "Feisty Fawn" 7.04, this box starts slower now and the "mplayer" app can sometimes blank and lock-up the screen, making all command consoles, even the terminals completely inaccessible by anything less a jab of the box's reset button. Still, even after at least a hundred UPS-less power cuts, the 10s of gigabytes of data added to this box's SCSI drive are still accessible with no corruption noticed so far, and no signs of malware or hack penetration to date, even over a shoddy Vietnam ISP's ADSL link.
