Using Linux Instead of Windows
Aug 19th, 2006 by Kevin Purcell
I am experimenting with Linux. Awhile back I installed Ubuntu Linux to give a review of the OS for Christian Computing Magazine. I liked it, but it is a little bit difficult to get used to it. I then went with PCLinuxOS. It is based on a different interface called KDE. KDE is a little easier for Windows users and PCLinux is a lot easier with its graphical interface for configurations. However, the support community is not nearly as big as Ubuntu’s. So I decided to give their KDE version called Kubuntu a shot. I have enjoyed it alot. I am running VMWare for the three or four programs that run under windows but won’t install in WINE (an interface allowing you to run Windows software in Linux natively).
This post is being written with a Linux tool called Drivel. It is easy to post without having to go to my web site and login. And I will be doing my Bible Study using VMWare with Logos and Bibleworks installed on it. I have e-Sword running under WINE and then I am using OpenOffice.org for word processing.
