• I’m running a Garmin navigation system with a lifetime maps update. I did not find a way to update the device under Linux. Maybe there is one, but I spent so many hours in research – I’m tired of it. | • I’m running a Garmin navigation system with a lifetime maps update.

• Compare OpenOffice or LibreOffice with the MS product. There are worlds between them. Don’t get me wrong, the open source programs do what they need to do, and the developers have done a great job – but in a professional environment I don’t want to miss my Excel. The open source programs are about 10 years behind. That’s just a fact. | • Compare OpenOffice or LibreOffice with the MS product. There are worlds between them.

At the end, I’m running XP and Ubuntu on two HDD on my computer. But honestly, although Ubuntu is great, my 10-year-old XP can do most of the things better than my one-year-old Ubuntu. | At the end, I’m running XP and Ubuntu on two HDD on my computer.
