My working environment (software)

I deciced to optimise my working environment, i am tired of having to format my disk every 2 months because things get slow….Just untill now i was a Windows user, i think all Microsofts operating systems passed on my computer….from ms-dos to windowsXp. And in my 10 years of computer user i formatted my machine at least 100 times….but i’m tired of it…

My current software environment :

• Microsoft WindowsXP (sp2)
• Microsoft OfficeXP
• Openoffice 2.0
• Zend IDE 5.0 (coding environment)
• Wamp (Apache1.x, Mysql 4.x, Php5.x)
• Email : Outlook (work / exchange) & Thunderbird (company / personal)
• Mozilla Firefox (browser)

The future vision :

• Ubuntu (a debian/linux based operating system)
• LAMP (Apache1.x, Mysql 4.x, Php5.x)
• Openoffice 2.x
• Mozilla thunderbird : email
• VMware : WindowsXP / Microsoft Office (exchange)

So lets start by installing ubuntu, and then go on from there
