I’m almost 50 and my professional curriculum is solely as Supply Chain and Production manager. Currently, I'm plant director for a food company. I'm neither an IT professional nor a smart young digital native. My experience might be interesting for others who are interested in nature, not young any more, and interested in Linux, but might be worried to attempt something new. | I’m almost 50 and my professional curriculum is solely as Supply Chain and Production manager.

At the beginning of 2000, I ran into an issue I was not able to solve on my PC, which was running the unlucky Windows Millenium. The office suite MS Works stopped running and I could not find a solution. Looking for an alternative to MS Works, I discovered open source software by downloading the OpenOffice suite. I was strongly impressed by that office suite. It was so much better than Works and it was free. | At the beginning of 2000, I ran into an issue I was not able to solve on my PC, which was running the unlucky Windows Millenium.

At more or less at the same time, an IT advisor working for my company gave me a Knoppix live CD. It was a very nice and rich in functionalities. Nevertheless I was not capable of solving problems I had in setting up an internet connection via winmodem. | At more or less at the same time, an IT advisor working for my company gave me a Knoppix live CD.

I downloaded a free guide from Makeuseof.com indicating Ubuntu was a good solution for renewing old hardware. I started from that interesting guide where I found my very first piece of information. Another very good source was Distrowatch (www.distrowatch.com) where I have studied the reviews of the distros which were tested. | I downloaded a free guide from Makeuseof.com indicating Ubuntu was a good solution for renewing old hardware.

I took the time to use Unetbootin and to test live distros booting from a usb pendrive including: all the 4 flavours of Ubuntu family (Gnome wasn't still official), Mint 14 Cinnamon and Mate, Fedora 18 Xfce, Debian 6 Gnome, Mageia 2, Fuduntu, Bodhi Linux.

I took Parted Magic–in my opinion really a wizard distribution–and I made room on my hard disk for testing the four distros, installing them alongside Windows XP.

First test was Ubuntu 12.04. It has a very easy installation process, but it is a bit resource consuming and it slowed down my PC. The software that came with the standard installation was older than the versions I was using on Windows XP. After some updates from ppa, I decided that I preferred some system stability issues in return for the availability of newer software versions. I have tested VirtualBox and I hae set up a Windows XP virtual machine. By the way, after the unavoidable very first confusion of being a long-term Windows user, I liked Unity DE. | First test was Ubuntu 12.04.

Kobo: Calibre, a very efficient ebook manager, works smoothly with my Kobo, but if I want to update the firmware, I need the specific Kobosetup software, and I was not able both to setup the unofficial Linux release of it, and to run the Windows version of it under Wine. At present, I have installed the Windows version of Kobosetup in the XP virtual machine. Another way to get a solution is to find a wifi spot and upgrade the firmware via wifi, but my PC wifi card does not support wifi access point. | Kobo: Calibre, a very efficient ebook manager, works smoothly with my Kobo, but if I want to update the firmware, I need the specific Kobosetup software, and I was not able both to setup the unofficial Linux release of it, and to run the Windows version of it under Wine.

This is the beginning of a new era of learning and experimenting for me. I have a lot of things to learn about Linux. I am planning to test Lubuntu, because, during the tests mentioned above, I realized that my way of using a PC and software does not need ‘long term support’ (for my use I just need the back-up of my data), and soon I will be back again testing Bodhi. | This is the beginning of a new era of learning and experimenting for me.
