I suggest reading "Beginning GIMP-from Novice to Professional" by Akkana Peck if you want to learn more about using the GIMP. I tried out upwards of a dozen different Linux distributions (including Linux Mint) before settling in with Ubuntu, so I think you've made a good choice. However, don't be afraid to try some of the other flavors of Linux out there; you never know, you might find a distro you like even more. Welcome onboard!

How does your wife keep up to Ubuntu - is she trying to learn, is it hard for her? What does she do with a PC? I'm trying to find out what does not work with the system in order to promote it better.

How does your wife keep up to Ubuntu – is she trying to learn, is it hard for her? What does she do with a PC? I’m trying to find out what does not work with the system in order to promote it better.

Congrats on your move to GNU/LINUX. I’m glad that GNU/LINUX has done it for you. The GNU/LINUX community is very happy to have another satisfied user.

The oddest one is when I surf the web. I don't have any viruses or anything, so why can't Vista run Firefox efficiently? If it continues giving me problems, I might just have to turn my back on MS and go elsewhere. I might just make the jump as Vista gives me a lot of issues. The oddest one is when I surf the web.

I made the jump about a year and a half back (after six months of tinkering with Dapper Drake). Best computing move I've ever made and I've learned shed-loads of *real* skills since the changeover. I miss the usual suspects like games, running Photoshop natively, marginally better display drivers and font rendering, but that's pretty much it. I was merely using Windows as a shell within which to run open source apps anyway. All that's really changed is that I'm no longer obliged to pay for an insecure file manager, oh, and my operating system installation disk weighs in at about 100 MB less than my old Windows XP HP printer drivers! ;) But seriously... once one gets used to the freedom, the GNU/Linux tool-set and *honest* computing, there's no way you'll want to go back. Hope it proves as rewarding for you as it's been for me! Congrats! I made the jump about a year and a half back (after six months of tinkering with Dapper Drake).
