A slight correction. “there are enough resources out there to dig into” no condition there. There actually are.

Hi! this is what i wanted to hear. something that one can self learn and do not need any fancy degree to qualify. it is easy to get intimidated out there, but your article in very simple and meaningful way, conveys that it can be done, IF one’s interest lies there, and there are enough resources out there to dig into. thank you for the great insights. two thumbs up:)

Nah geek is cool. Without geek talk I don't know the vocab to look out for so I can learn more. Bring that geek out and be proud. Mmmm… Is there a Geek Pride Day somewhere in the world?

Hahaha… I had to actually read your reply a few times to get me through the OS lingo but I got there. I'm incredibly non-tech-savvy but it's all a learning curve and getting my mojo on with Unbuntu has been awesome. Looking forward to your future posts buddy.

Oh, weird! I was on your site earlier today. Someone on my list tweeted it. I clicked your link and there I was again! Congratulations on your transition! Hope things work out nicely for you!

I'm a college drop out and proud. You shouldn't drop out without putting a good amount of thought into where you'll end up. Knowing you want to start a business is a good start though. I hope this series helps you out in forming your ideas.

Good freaking job, Caron! Ubuntu is an excellent choice, much better than Windows! I prefer to use Unix-based operating systems. I'm on a MacBook with Mac OS X (based on FreeBSD) and I also run Ubuntu on here. Love them both.

My only complaint about Ubuntu, honestly, is that it doesn't support multi-touch gestures on the MacBook (or at least it didn't last time I checked) so I can't fully run it. Running it virtualized solves this problem, but I'd really like to dual boot into a purely Ubuntu partition.

I've stopped caring about IE6 for anything I do personally. I kind of just make sure it looks half-assed alright for people on IE6. Like with WSR. I'm sure the logo has that jacked up gray background being a png and all, but I don't bother. Also, most people who visit WSR use Firefox or Safari.
