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.

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 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. I resized the Windows XP partition, setting up a new swap and a new empty partition for the new system. | 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.

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.
