Day 3 of Linux Fun

So I'm doing everything from Ubuntu so far.

The browsing works great out of the box. I can do all my Gmail stuff, and everything so far has opened nicely in Open Office. Of course I'm not doing any type of fancy editing or such so I have not run into any issues with it yet.

Jumped over to You Tube for a bit during a slow period yesterday and loaded the applet in the FireFox and was watching the videos in a minute of so.

Remote desktop RDPv5 is installed by default so I can get right on all my servers.

Got my Google Talk IM up and running with the default install of Gaim and some simple instructions on Google Talks page.

Things that I need to get running still.....
wireless, at work we use an open VPN for security just need to get the connection then the rest of the setup should be easy.
I use dual head at work and the laptop is widescreen so I need to play around with the video settings and get them all looking nice.



I can get to all my network drives, just need to map a few so I can have them up all the time.
