It has been a week of no Windows with my Toshiba Terca-S1 and so far it's very good experenice. OK, except!

1. Haven't got a driver for my k800i to download the files (might have to use Bluetooth)
2. Ocassionly have problem with Skype (it can crash sometimes)
3. Need MatLab for FYP!

That's the three main things I need to sort out, other than that enjoying it. Some of the programs that I'm using to replace the one in Windows are:

1. TexMaker <- WinEdit
2. Gaim <- GoogleTalk and MSN messenger
3. GIMP <- Photoshop
4. OpenOffice <- MS Office
5. gFTP <- fileZilla
6. D4X <- FlashGet

I think that's about it, by the way if you happen to have a mouse with more than 3 buttons you might have to manually map the buttons. Because that's what I had to do, also the support for Ubuntu online are very helpful! When I experience a problem, it's very likely that someone else had the same before and can be solved. So thanks to the people to develop Linux, Ubuntu and all the open source software.
